Out of curiosity, do you think this technology could be used for tattoos? I've never used a 3d printer so I don't know all the technical details, but it seems like it would be possible to provide a 3d image of your arm and have the syringe create a tattoo one poke at a time.
- justinclift 8y agoWell, current CNC machines can use a touch probe to pretty accurately map the height of a given surface: http://community.carbide3d.com/t/using-ugs-probe-helper/8823/4 http://community.carbide3d.com/t/using-ugs-probe-helper/8823... That approach could be used to build a useful representation of the arm/body area needing work. The actual injection bit I have no idea though. Maybe mount ing a real tattoo gun and hooking up the enable/disable spindle pins to it would work. Seems like some people have already been down a similar path before: https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-PRINTER-X-TATTOO-MACHINE/ https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-PRINTER-X-TATTOO-MACHINE... https://makezine.com/2016/08/09/are-robots-the-future-of-the-tattoo-industry/ https://makezine.com/2016/08/09/are-robots-the-future-of-the...
