This isn't new...
Captainplanetmotherfucker
Saw this on a TED talk over two years ago.
Lancars
Reminds me of the intro from toy soldiers a bit. I know it was printed and then the resin drained but still!
digitalist1
Is this what inspired the west world intro serous question
AdamGenesis
Can it print a Fleshlight?
samsonguy920
So moist, so rich, so creamy....
elrick43
I want one. I wanna make action figures of me and my friends
KoRplussomeletters
The bit printing in red reminds me of the horse's hoof.
SpikeSpiegeil
Looks expensive tho.

I wrote my thesis on DLP 3D Printing applications in tissue engineering last year. There is a long way to go before it is actually useful(1)
NewoTemplar
Miniatures and models are cool, it just can't produce objects with the durability and strength needed for industrial applications (2)
MasterBerend
Can they print a camper?
rabidCOVIDphysician
Several 3D printers print this way now. Not just one company.
Notawallplan
I want nannolathing to be a thing eventually.
Fourthmealin
I sometimes print with a super flexible filament called Ninjaflex, I've made actually usable gloves, boots, and belts with the stuff.
TobiOfTheAkatsuki
Not only that, be we're able to 3D print functional ovaries. I'm not kidding, look that shit up.
IllegalDuckling
This reminds me of that gif of an android's skin being "printed" on in some anime.
TheOneThatGotBanned
tested did a video on it last year, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2thSsQrZUM
tiancaiz
thats the new ultraboost
btraqnasty
Actual industrial Additive manufacturing systems are very cool. They can even print tungsten
DetectiveSherlockHolmes
Neat...i didn't know we couldn't build the eifril tower before
mailbomber
it is not stepping up what you see here is SLA printing wich exist for a while now
bingbangboomhamburgertime
kinda, this one is continuous projection though, no layer interfaces to worry about so build direction strength is way higher
aegeus
its decades old at this point
btraqnasty
Parts created with uv treated resin are only used for form and fit. They don't have the strength or longevity for final manufacturing.

We're getting closer and closer to replicators, man.
Lesbiansass
Soooo dildos?
ferdturguson
I'd be more impressed if guys weren't already doing this in their homes since 2014...
sarkonas
One step forward to affordably pirating warhammer miniatures!
KingOfTheImgurians
This is really cool, but am I the only one who wants to know more about that piece that was squished under the roller?
TemporaryUzername
you can print those with TPU and a home FDM printer if you dial it in properly.
OutOfScope
Pics?
TemporaryUzername
just use google and search for 'TPU Print' or 'TPU FDM Print'. They make TPU filament and there are some photos of grid matrices.
wartoaster
It's a truss-cellular matrix that's only possible by 3d printing. They rolled it to prove its elasticity and strength, despite being resin
GumCuzzler
why is it only possible with 3D printing?
twozerooz
It isnt. He was misinformed.
wartoaster
Proof?
twozerooz
Injection moulding, filament winding, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding, etc. All capable of building such a structure.
Millillion
You can't fit a tool inside it to mill out the hollow parts, and you can't mold it due to the connected solid and hollow parts.
twozerooz
Its not limited to 3d printing. There are other methods to build stuff like that, such as injection moulding, filament winding,

Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding, etc

Oh, how could I have forgotten about that. But uhh. For a friend, what's that?
NicelyD0ne
This is very cool, but it is not new. I saw a video about this 2 years ago, I specifically remembered the Effiel Tower print.
AluminumMuffin
Also note the sponsored "Carbon" logo in the lower right hand side.
DeadMemeCentral
I think it was in a Ted talk? I saw the red "sphere"
JustLucky75
shits not even the fastest no more
wookietiddy
It's also not that fast. Those prints take like 30 mins still. Very cool though.
Pablomar24
I saw the Commando Elite and the Gorgonites being built this way back in the 90s, so...
yapyapblahblahdribbledribbledribble
May be old but still cool as hell. I'm still not over the 3D printing hype, that shits just straight up sci-fi
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
One of the reasons I bought one. Never knew when I first heard of them that I would actually own one myself.
Qumefox
SLA printing is way older than 2 years old. It's actually the first form of 3d printing that was developed.
lukilukeskywalker
It was actually patented since the 1979. 3d printers are now the wow, because of the open source reprap proyect and a few hackers in 2006
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
Started at the University of Bath, RepRap standardized a rapid prototyping and self-replicating template that uses commodity parts and >
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
> open source designs and common industrial protocols to remove most of the engineering & guess work out of creating a 3D printing platform.
reaperhead
And if I remember correctly,the process produces poisoness gasses and they needed to pull it to retool it so it wouldn't do that anymore
bingbangboomhamburgertime
you remember incorrectly. like straight up. google it
cosonfused
Yeah, this type isn't new by any measure. Maybe they meant the speed or the materials used?
Kage197
Same! I'm almost positive it was on hete
TheGracefulDead
Yeah, there was a course on this in my university that's been taught for 3 years
BewareTheCrocigator
Yeah I saw it at a conference - told my boss about it when I got home and he didn't believe me
IxRxPHYSICIST
We have about 6 in various labs at school.

I remember the TESTED interview with them. "Light and oxygen" was the only thing the guy said.
Qumefox
I remember that. The whole video just came across as marketing wank to me. There wasn't really much substance.

FDM printing is far slower (I have one). One of the advantages of SLA printing is a major delta on print times.
bingbangboomhamburgertime
you remember wrong:https://3dprinting.com/news/carbon3d-reaches-incredible-3d-printing-speeds-with-clip/
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
This type of printing is called SLA and is still not quite at household consumer-grade. FDM printers, OTOH, are & are safer & easier to use
macwarrior
Their technology is a faster version of stereolithography, which is over 30 years old. The parts they make are quick, but nothing new.
derpman4k
most modern technology in a nutshell, old tech becoming viable in some way or form
Escheron
stereolithography is actually the very first form of "modern" 3d printing. SLA predates FDM by about a decade
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
Now, FDM printers are far more common, cheaper to obtain, and are relatively safer and easier to use.
CrahjFayon
We use them at my work. Sometimes they can actually be quite bad quality. And only a small table size so limited design capabilities
CrahjFayon
But, their rubber prints are actually pretty good and actually feel and behave like rubber. Most other printers can't offer that.
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
Flex filament for FDM printers are good alternatives, though.
LamarTheHeadhumper
Yeah, my high school got one my freshman year (8y ago) and it's not a big school, in fact there were jokes about it being a dirty school.

https://techcrunch.com/2016/05/15/how-expiring-patents-are-ushering-in-the-next-generation-of-3d-printing/ Patent expiration = stepping up
bingbangboomhamburgertime
hell yeah, glad to see it is working as designed
Drarra
Yep, exactly! Patents should allow the companies to make big money out of it to ressearch is actually worth it - then spread tech affordable
mybrothersmario
Unless your stratesys/makerbot then screw you.
bingbangboomhamburgertime
yes

IamAlexander
Can i print food tho?
baldewok
Soon.

CHIK-IN.
sqlyoda
There are several companies working on food printers for use in vending machines but none have hit the market yet.
Vidikron
Yes, NASA has one on the ISS. Haven't seen one advertised for terrestrial use, though.
HD226868
Wait, they actually succeeded in making it?! I thought that was still in-dev.
InvadingYourSpaces
Still in-dev.
