New Cost Effective 3D Metal Printer
A new low-cost 3D printer has been developed by Michigan Technological University’s Joshua Pearce and his team to use this new technology to create objects out of metal.
Pearce claims that “expanded 3D printing could benefit people in the developing world, who have limited access to manufactured goods, and researchers, who can radically cut the cost of scientific equipment to further their science.”
“Small and medium-sized enterprises would be able to build parts and equipment quickly and easily using downloadable, free and open-source designs, which could revolutionise the economy for the benefit of the many,” said Pearce.
He added: “I anticipate rapid progress when the maker community gets their hands on it. Within a month, somebody will make one that’s better than ours, I guarantee it.”
