I tried to see what it take to build one. My first issue is that there is very little information about how the tech work. This article inkjet tech isn't the same one than the powder + inkjet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_bed_and_inkjet_head_3D_printing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_bed_and_inkjet_head_3D_... > the resolution is hard to beat Are you sure it's on the same level than the regular hobbyist resin printers ? Thoses have 35 µm to 50 µm resolution.

I am not referring to powder bed inkjet 3d printing, I am referring to making parts by inkjetting UV curable polymer. The 3D printer mentioned in the article, the cheap 3d printer previously made at MIT, and the phone case printer available on AliExpress all use this process. >resolution The inkjets used have similar DPI as those used in 2D printers, so resolution can be as small as 13-16 micrometers[0] [1]https://www.rnd-tech.com/3d-printers-product-lines/polyjet/eden-series/eden260vs/ https://www.rnd-tech.com/3d-printers-product-lines/polyjet/e...

  Objet printers use this tech, projet too

  > am referring to making parts by inkjetting UV curable polymer. Yes, I said they were not the same, my point is there isn't even a Wikipedia article about it. I don't see how technologically it can reach better accuracy than current resin printer that are based on lithography technics. It's just a multi material resin printer but sounds way harder to do for an hobbyist.
