This is basically a CT scanner in reverse. A CT (computed tomography) works by having an Xray camera rapidly spin around an object taking hundreds of Xrays that a computer then reconstructs into a 3D scan of the object. This works in reverse, taking a 3D scan and splitting it into many still images that get projected like a video onto the object as it rotates. The high transparency of the resin means the light can pass through like an Xray and interact with the whole vial, but only cure when repeatedly exposed from multiple angles as the vial rotates.

I imagine weight of an object would become an issue beyond a certain point, in which case perhaps a hanging or supporting structure could be formed at the same time or first, and then the model printed so it wouldn't collapse in the fluid. Would obviously be great to see this scaled, although there are many applications that need small parts that it can essentially do already.

@3amali1 26 күн бұрын

Fantastic work, BUT, what I don't get is how comes the photons passing through the resin to form the structure don't actually polymerise the path they pass through?! In fact they probably do but the intensity of the light is designed to be high where the structure is and lower on the way to it. This raises the question of how reusable the remaining resin which probably would contain semi-polymerised resin, which is unlike SLA is mostly reusable.. worth clarifying...

@TheJunky228 26 күн бұрын

I'm guessing they control the focus very carefully and have a very shallow depth of field on the optics for projecting the light. maybe for example it's really only exposing focused light right across the center of the container and the unfocused light is low enough intensity to not solidify the outer surface. so the part is really being exposed from the center outwards

@@TheJunky228 Probably why you need to voxelize the model, and not just project a turnaround... Something like 360º printing layers (in a spiral), held in mid-air. You would probably need cero G to print big parts, or maybe start over a core support. Also, likely all that magic is happening at a very narrow slice of the fluid.

I had a go getting the software to work a year ago but python was a bit fiddly and it wouldn't compile. I might have another go now. For a projector you could try a 2nd hand dlp one, they can be had for £40 ish on ebay. The bulb can still fire out enough uv to cure resin even if it takes longer. Ther are also ways to replace the bulb unit with a uv lamp. I was planning to try mixing standard resin with something to thicken it, or maybe just use supports to keep things simple. I work in dentistry so a lot resin I use is opaque. This would be fine for surgical guides and aligners however, cooking those up in 2 minutes would be very appealing.

@blugobln85 26 күн бұрын

I think the trick is that the goo only cures if it has light consistently pushed through it. The rotation is why it doesn't have "lines" where the light projects through - it is only where the lines intersect consistently (thus the precise calculation for the projected images) that it cures.

This is hardly cutting edge tech any more. It’s still expensive to produce parts this way and it’s cheaper to mass produce and import from a cheaper labor nation, unfortunately.
