"Introducing supportless multiaxis metal printing" says the group's promotional video. After developing a MX3D-resin printer last year, this time around the focus is on a printer with advanced welding machine, able to print with metals, such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze or copper, without the need for support-structures. (They are developing different kinds of print heads for different kinds of metals.) The Labs group said that the method makes it possible to create 3D objects on any given working surface independently of its inclination and smoothness in almost any size and shape. Their work has been in collaboration with Acotech and supported by software company Autodesk.
Neat.
Cheers,
Scott.
