GelDispensingPrinting

ThoughtStorms Wiki

New kind of 3DPrinting / DesktopManufacturing technology.

Uses a gel rather than hard plastic melted, which is then cured at the point it's dispensed (the print-head).

Allows you to print fast, without support material (because for overhangs etc. the gel sticks to the existing print, long enough to be cured into place.)

Interestingly, this is a great technology. Which seems to be getting used for printing expensive bits of yachts etc. I guess it's LuxurySector where high end new technologies are developed that will hopefully get more widely adopted.
