New 3D Printer “replicator” Uses Light To Transform Liquid Into Desired Solid by karthikaqpt: 12:38pm On Feb 02, 2019 |
A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. Most 3D printers, including other light-based techniques, build up 3D objects layer by layer. This leads to a “stair-step” effect along the edges. They also have difficulties creating flexible objects because bendable materials could deform during the printing process, and supports are required to print objects of certain shapes, like arches. The new printer relies on a viscous liquid that reacts to form a solid when exposed to a certain threshold of light. Projecting carefully crafted patterns of light — essentially “movies” — onto a rotating cylinder of liquid solidifies the desired shape “all at once.”
