- aendruk 8mo ago> not that impressive Until you see the scale bar
- fc417fc802 8mo agoThey're printing 12 μm features (fig 4h). For high speed mass production of more or less arbitrary geometry with no need to retool it's seriously impressive.
- zimpenfish 8mo agoGoing off some Photoshop dimensionating with the scale bar, that Benchy is about w 6mm x h 5mm[0] which, if I'm reading [1] correctly, is just about 100x smaller than the canonical Benchy. Impressive that you can recognise it at all, I'd say. [0] Strictly more like 5.5mm x 4.5mm but you get the idea. [1] https://www.3dbenchy.com/dimensions/ https://www.3dbenchy.com/dimensions/
- skybrian 8mo agoBut can they print a full-size benchy?
- zimpenfish 8mo agoFrom the looks of the size of the things they have printed, "no?"[0] Although if they could, it would be fantastic. [0] Unless they print it in a whole bunch of parts you self-assemble, I guess.
