3D printing is 100 times faster than the molding speed in liquid materials

3D printing may indicate the future of manufacturing, but now 3D printing technology is based on two-dimensional: makerbot is essentially an inkjet printer, but it spits out plastic, and then in the same place again and again Print it from bottom to top over and over again, eventually forming a three-dimensional object.

But a company called "carbon3d" took the opposite strategy: printing from top to bottom, and the movement was continuous. It prints faster and eliminates delamination and reduces jagged edges.

The machine was inspired by the robot "mercury" in Terminator 2. Joseph, a professor at the University of North Carolina, wanted to print objects directly from the liquid. This process is called stereolithography.

Below it is a cylinder of liquid resin that hardens when exposed to UV light. An ultraviolet projector can draw shapes directly in the liquid and then take the finished product out of the liquid.

This method of course has certain limitations. Oxidation affects the shaping of the resin, but even with such a deficiency, carbon3d is 100 times ahead of the printing speed.

"We are opening up new applications for our machines." The company's chief marketing and strategy officer said. "As long as it is a polymer material, I think we should be able to use it."

This machine has great potential. Technicians can design and print new ones directly from components stored in the cloud, and aerospace engineers can print high-strength, low-weight parts to replace components such as passenger seats. This can reduce the payload and improve the fuel efficiency of the aircraft.

Carbon3d is also widely used in the medical field: custom molds can be printed on-site at the dentist's office, and other emergency customizable implants can be printed directly in the hospital as needed.
