#Reinventing the 3d printer to make it faster 3d printers are slow. They are so slow that in the time it would take to print a screwdriver,
Video) And the frustrating thing is that existing 3d printers could technically print faster. It s just a matter of using an extruder that puts out thicker ropes of material,
allowing the printer to lay down more material with the same number of movements. But thicker layers means sacrificing the printer s resolution,
because the place where one layer ends and the next begins becomes obvious. So a national lab and a corporation set out in the past year to completely reinvent the concept of the 3d printer.
Here s what they are working on. Oak ridge s monster machine Oak ridge National Laboratory decided to make a faster printer by embracing thicker layers.
Using Cincinnati Inc. s huge BAAM 3d printer it is working toward a machine that could print 200 to 500 times faster than a standard desktop 3d printer.
A few more details about the Oak ridge-Cincinnati partnership emerged today on 3dprint. com, which reported that BAAM is capable of printing objects as large as tables
and chairs by extruding plastic in layers 0. 3 inches wide. Chairs recently on display at the RAPID conference each took about 2 hours and 30 minutes to print.
On a normal printer, a chair would take days to print and need to be printed in pieces.
The site also reported that Oak ridge is considering processing 3d printed objects after they are printed
so that they appear smooth. This could involve sanding or treating the plastic with a chemical like acetone,
is basically a series of 3d printers along a track. The printers deposit different colors and types of materials on phones whizzing past them on an oval-shaped track.
The system is an ingenious way to work around the typically tricky process of building a full-color 3d printer,
which uses just one or a few nozzles to switch back and forth between colors. 3d Systems does make a line of color printers,
but even the largest units would have trouble keeping up with the volume of phones Google expects to need.
We ve become accustomed to plastic-based 3d printers that use one extruder to slowly go back
and in the future other techniques could trickle down to desktop 3d printers. The Robox, for example, uses one extruder that prints a large volume of plastic,
The first desktop 3d printers, which have driven heavy interest in the 25 year old professional printer industry,
only appeared 10 years ago. As the industry continues to mature and become more competitive,

Like other computerscreens, the room displays inputs processed elsewhere. That means Lowe s has to scan every item before it can appear in the Holoroom.
This information is displayed on a touch screen in the dressing room, and if a customer desires a different size or color,
they can simply click on the changes on the screen. The system has a real time registry of the store s inventory
In addition, the touch screen can suggest complementary or similar items, which can also be requested for retrieval.

A device that allows desktop 3d printers to print in color for less than $100 Full color printing is generally a privilege limited to professional and high-end consumer 3d printers,
so the more casual user is stuck likely printing in one or two colors. But Cédric Kovacs-Johnson and Charles Haider, both chemical engineering undergraduates at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, say they have come up with a solution:

#3d printing may finally give artificial organs a blood supply Vascularized tissue constructed by printing cell-laden inks in a layered zigzag pattern.
Using a custom-built four-head 3-D printer and a isappearingink, materials scientist Jennifer Lewisand her team created a patch of tissue containing skin cells and biological structural material interwoven with blood-vessel-like structures.
The tissue is built by the 3-D printer in layers. A gelatin-based ink acts as extracellular matrixhe structural mix of proteins and other biological molecules that surrounds cells in the body.
Two other inks contained the gelatin material and either mouse or human skin cells. All these inks are viscous enough to maintain their structure after being laid down by the printer.
A third ink with counterintuitive behavior helped the team create the hollow tubes. This ink has a Jell-o-like consistency at room temperature
and we think it going to be essential toward organ printing or regeneration, says Lewis, who is member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard university.
