EPFL’s super-fast 3D-printing technique makes resin objects in seconds
Researchers at EPFL have demonstrated a light-based 3D-printing method that's about 30 times faster than conventional additive manufacturing, creating objects in 20 seconds that would normally take more like 10 minutes thanks to photocurable resins. Where regular 3D printing is all about sticking blobs of material on a substrate and allowing (or causing) it to solidify, EPFL's light-based process, pioneered back in 2017, takes a totally different approach that's much, much faster. “We pour the resin into a container and…
