- 3D printing technology has made huge breakthroughs in recent years, able to quickly produce everything from small plastic components to entire buildings. But one area that remains a challenge is the construction of intricate mechanical devices which require multiple materials and moving parts.
This new printer combines inkjet printing technology with error correction guided by machine vision to tackle this challenge and construct sophisticated functional devices.
By scanning and adjusting layer by layer as it prints, it can maintain speed and accuracy while its multiple print heads lay down different materials side by side. And while the researchers behind the technique, called vision-controlled jetting, have started by demonstrating prints with soft and rigid plastics, the machine has the potential to print electronics or even cellular scaffolds for tissue engineering.

The number of times I've heard over the years "it can just be printed with an inkjet printer" but then it didn't go anywhere. This explains why and more importantly, solves it! So this could have huge ramifications in any number of fields actually! Fantastic news!
Yep. I saw more basic tech than this about 30years ago using inkjets. It deposited a layer of powder then basically glued it together using a coloured substance. The examples I saw had multiple colours and again the human heart with all the Viens and arteries. It made completely ridged objects.
It might have been on a TV show called Beyond 2000 in Australia, it was a long time ago
This is huge, I am very impressed!
Very well presented as well!
Not really. What these videos never tell you is that it takes hours, sometimes days to print. So just like always, its for prototypes at best, toys at worse.
"It's 3D printed..."
oh yeah thats neat and it makes sense
"in one piece"
😳
ikr? lemmi git dat STL file
They should license out the visual hardware and software to other manufacturers too. Automatic error correction could definitely be used in all sorts of industries
There is heaps of tech that does that in various ways for various reasons.
The robowaifus will come.
And the cyborgs as well.
And so will I 😏
This is how machines build other machines.
Welcome 🎉🎉
We've all seen the intro to Westworld.
Multi material 3d printing is next level ive been waiting for, now to upgrade it into many versions that gain details and more like evolution.
A precursor of Cyberdyne Systems Corporation!
Tissue engineering? We know exactly what that really means!
Wow a real 3D printer at last
The scientist carefully placed the motor on the stand. It was only a motor, but after the prnter heads had been wheeled into place the motor slowly began to grow. The scientist returned a few days later to see his finished creation, and shake his hand for the first time.
Very nice
Wow my mind is blown ❤
Great! I’m gonna sell my kidney to get a robot hand!
Maybe sell both kidneys and print one within 2 days then install it Infront of a mirror on the 3rd.day... it's all good
they should use conductive filament
I wish I could buy one haha
cool
This is very nice, but also, that hand totally looks like it belongs to a Pak Protector from Niven's Known Space universe.
If I were the engineers I would definitely try to come up with a backronym to name it "P.A.K.".
Printed Aero-Knuckles?
Looks like a part of Synthetic Humanoid in alien serise
For all the Baron Harkonnen's out there - be not dismayed, your new organs have arrived! You may continue to rule the universe.
So this is basically a competitor to PolyJet 3D printers? I hope they make it more affordable and accessible, PolyJet printers cost almost half a million $ and that sets a wall for a lot of companies (not to mention people)
New technology takes time to be able to be use as a small scale for home users. There is a lot of new printers out there but they are mostly industrial and cost a lot so we will have to wait a few years before it is commercial available.
@@jgon12 PolyJet technology has been around for almost 20 years. There still hasn’t been any attempt at a consumer version.
This video is showing a new competitor, I believe from China, for a technology that has been around for decades.
@@ethaneveraldo What makes you think this is a Chinese company? The founders are all from MIT, and none of them are Chinese. One thing is for sure: China will copy if not outright steal this technology.
Westworld, anyone?
A bit of a difficulty is that UV resins are toxic and curing is never reaching everything, so putting it inside the human body is probably not feasible.
Maybe i missed it, but they didn’t say the ink would be an UV resin? As i understood the inkjet method allows for a wider choice of materials.
All jetting printers use UV resins because they are the only glue that is suitable for the application.
The robot hand looks like its wire operated, while it tries to look like its pneumatic?
5th element
We are legion
I want pony.
There are imageboard people working on this.
Is africa only a front for global geopolitical ambitions of more advanced countries? I think we need our own place cemented minus catering to other ideals
Looks expensive, but novel
*Westworld theme.mp3*
We know. It means we can print real humans (clones) one day...
Shut up……and just take my money💯
howard wolovitz wants to know your location
bogos binted ?
this doesnt look like anything to me
Mix that with AI generated models and there you have it : the end of humanity !!
It's not ink, so it can't be an inkjet printer!! 🤦🏻♂️ A! also an inkjet can only print 2D! 🤷🏻♂️ And it does not use external uv curing! 😑 This is a Single plain multilayer uv scan 3D printer!
They said it’s *like* an inkjet printer in that it sprays a liquid. They’re using a simile so that people who are not well versed in engineering and technology can have a basis of comparison.
You may personally be smarter than the average bear when it comes to things like this, but something like 50% of the population isn’t and those comparisons are made to inform them.
@@qwinlyn no it is not even like one! 🤦🏻♂️
There's not anything remotely close to an AI, but still you see it everywhere. That's the sad thing about terms, they are misused, a lot.
@@TheOpticalFreak A bit pedantic, don't you think?
@@franki1990 It's important to note the difference between AI, (the entire wise field of technologies attempting to mimic human intelligence,) and AGI, (a truly intelligent system which meets or surpasses human intelligence.)
look like shieit taken form Scorn"! XD
