It's literally fused to the surface as it's drawn up from the vat (imagine the apparatus shown in the Wikipedia diagram but upside-down with the laser below the resin vat)
- dm2 12y agoThe laser is below the resin container? How does that work? Is there a similar built device that you know of?
- supermatt 12y agoThe formlabs form 1 is a good example: http://formlabs.com/products/form-1/ http://formlabs.com/products/form-1/

- chrissyb 12y agoApologies! My bad! This is actually a Photolithographic printer There was also this one called "Peachy" on hackaday last year http://hackaday.com/2013/09/22/a-100-stereolithography-3d-printer/#more-103558 http://hackaday.com/2013/09/22/a-100-stereolithography-3d-pr... edit: also here's the link to the HN discussion of this printer https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6424132 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6424132
- fudged71 12y agoActually, this printer is likely DLP-based. Instead of a laser it uses a projector http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Light_Processing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Light_Processing
