Silicon Valley Professionals Develop Innovative 3D printing technology, which eliminates the need for printing objects layer by layer, and create them from a liquid medium. Note that the first 3D printer was created a quarter century ago, and since then no one did not significantly change its working principle.
Americans have proposed a fundamentally new approach to printing volumetric objects. New technology allows the production of raw materials for printing twenty-five to one hundred times faster than currently used methods. In addition, an innovative way makes it possible to create the most complex geometric shapes that were previously inaccessible 3D printers. This technology can be effectively used in areas of medicine, aviation, automotive.
According to project author Joseph Desimon, continuous printing from a liquid surface will allow melt objects manipulating oxygen and light. So the traditional layer printing is replaced by a process of controlled photochemistry.
As a liquid medium, the inventors now use resin, however, in the future it can be replaced with something else. Combination controlled streams of air and light rays leads to liquid solidification in any form. Technology allows you to successfully create microscopic objects that are smaller in size quarter of the thickness of the notebook sheet. Such a print has large prospects. For example, printing prostheses from soft tissue.
