We’ve all seen what modern 3D printing technology is capable of, but it still has some serious limitations. Many times, 3D printed objects come out quite rough, with jagged edges and uneven surfaces, and even then the objects themselves are limited in complexity. Researchers from the University of California Berkeley thought they could do better.
The team has just revealed a novel new 3D printing process that doesn’t “print” the object at all, but rather pulls it straight out of a gooey liquid. The system, which the scientists have nicknamed the “replicator” in honor of the futuristic tech of Star Trek, is capable of creating incredibly smooth, flexible objects that just aren’t possible with regular 3D printing.
