25x~100x faster 3D printing?

[Renegade]

This is a wildly different way to do 3D printing, and it's damn cool.

Carbon3D's technology does this by harnessing oxygen and light to grow the parts continuously as the object rises like the T-1000 from Terminator out of the resin. One experiment captured in a study published Monday in Science shows a mini-Eiffel Tower emerging from a vat of blue liquid in just six minutes.

Wow!

[Stoic Joker]

Okay, that's cool!

I'd forgotten all about this. Then today I came across this TED talk (from 2015) and came here to post about it and rediscovered this thread.

Here's more detail about their first product, in a video from 2016:

Did it ever.... materialize?

Did it ever.... materialize?

Apparently so, looking at that first link https://www.carbon3d.com/.

Also, at https://www.aniwaa.com/product/3d-printers/carbon3d-m2/

That price!!!

[Deozaan]

That price!!!

Yeah. But I imagine that within 10-20 years the technology will have been developed enough that it will be at least as accessible and affordable as 3D printers are today.

At least, one can hope...
