Home 3d printing leads often to unsatisfactory results. There must be a thuisprinter based on a photosynthetic fluid change insertion. Joseph DeSimone, founder of Carbon3D, opened Monday the TED conference in Vancouver with his 3d-vloeistofprinter.
The printer of the company Carbon3D hot CLIP, either Continuous Liquid Interface Production. In contrast to most consumentenprinters that layer for layer of a model building, print the CLIP an object in a photosynthetic resin by slowly from the liquid resin to the top to pull.
According to DeSimone came the inspiration for the printer of the T-1000 robot from Terminator 2. The printer works as follows: via ultraviolet light the object from below in the basin are projected, making the resin hard on the areas where the uv light constitutes the image. Oxygen keeps the photosynthetic resin liquid. By oxygen, and light combine, a three-dimensional shape to be built in the resin.
DeSimone says on the TED conference that his technique objects can create with existing 3d printers manufactured can be. In addition, print the machine is also much faster. During the talk there was an object in only seven minutes printed. Unfortunately the video of the talk is not yet available, but there is a product, in addition to the Monday online published paper in Science.
