Isn't technology amazing.

One of the shops I worked in had a stereo lithography printer for rapid prototyping. But nothing like this....

Unless my math is wrong, that's 11,520 inches per minute...... :wow:

I've seen the larger plastic 3d printers, but not those. Interesting.

11,811 inches per minute... you are correct.

What impresses me more is that it only takes *two* photons to make the resin dot harden. I mean, it's a real small dot of resin, but that's a really REALLY small amount of light.

Wow thats crazy awesome. I think it would be amazing if one day we can print 3d items in our own homes. Not sure how practical that would be though. A guy can dream though.
