According to foreign media techspot, researchers at the Laboratory of Applied Photonics Devices (LAPD) at L'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have recently developed a groundbreaking 3D printing method that promises to disrupt the industry
.
The traditional 3D printing technology is a process of additive manufacturing, that is, printing and manufacturing layer by layer starting from the bottom layer of the printed object
.
EPFL's new 3D printing technology can be printed in just 30 seconds, and can be used to make soft objects such as hearing aids and mouthguards.
It has promising applications in medicine and biology.
This new technology of EPFL is based on the principle of tomography
.
Those involved have formed a company to help develop and sell the technology, Readily3D, which CEO Damien Loterie says is laser-related
.
Currently, the new technology can make objects as small as 2 cm in diameter with a precision of 80 microns (the diameter of a hair)
.
The potential application scenarios for this technology are numerous
