New 3-D printing technology 25 to 100 times faster

19 March 2015

New 3-D printing technology enables objects to rise from a liquid media continuously rather than being built layer by layer, representing a fundamentally new approach to 3-D printing. The technology allows ready-to-use products to be made 25 to 100 times faster than other methods and creates previously unachievable geometries.
The technology, called CLIP - for Continuous Liquid Interface Production - manipulates light and oxygen to fuse objects in liquid media. It works by projecting beams of light through an oxygen-permeable window into a liquid resin. An article about the technology is published in Science (News Item University of North Carolina, 16 March 2015).
