Research and Development in Self-Replicating Open-Source 3D Printing
The other day I started a brief Twitter discussion by saying something that I thought to be true: “…SLA can’t do multiple materials in a single print.” But, as Bill Steele and Joel Telling pointed out, I was wrong. Also
It’s often the case that you need to 3D-print objects that must slot together, like the grey and red parts slotting into the white central hub in the picture above. (It’s a design for a 3D-printed BLDC motor that we’re
RepRap is the technology on which Josef Průša built his company, Prusa Research. A while ago, in recognition of this, he very kindly gave Adrian a Prusa SL1 – one of his open-source stereolithography machines – and we have been
[NOTE: This is still in development, and it is NOT YET WORKING. Since this blog post was written we have done more work on this idea, and so the diagram above and the post are now out-of-date. For
[For the latest on this idea, see our documentation here.] This blog post combines three ideas to make a fourth. The three are: The reverse-CT scan 3D printing technique from Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore, The open-source electric 3D scanning technique for
