3D printing speed is expected to promote dozens of times

Recently, TED an American non-profit organization's global meeting) was successfully held.Meetings, the chief executive officer Joseph Carbon 3D to the audience the paper introduces a new way of 3D printing, faster than in the past dozens of times.So, if 3D printing speed can improve dozens of times, what happens?

Joseph was a chemist and materials scientist.At the TED conference, he put forward the traditional 3D printing should not be referred to as 3D printing, because it works just the material layer by layer stack up, just repeat the process of 2D print.He summed up the traditional 3D printing several sticking points: printed fragile object structure, limited the scope of the raw material choice.

Besides Joseph referred to these points, 3D printing speed has been difficult to ascend, is also a place for blame.Hard to imagine that is only the size of the table tennis things, for example, at least need to print more than an hour.If the structure is complex, it needs more time.

Carbon 3D said he adopted by the new technology of 3D printing CLIP for short, it is a Continuous Liquid Interface Production the abbreviation of this a few words.From the point of principle, it is controlled by using light and oxygen, and the light curing materials, the liquid raw materials directly into a solid, like the terminator robot as the liquid in the movie.CLIP has the advantage that the print speed, more solid and printed items, also more smooth surface.

In addition, an Australian company the Gizmo 3D announced that will challenge the Carbon 3D speed, they will use the SLA super fast 3D printers.
