3D printing process uses tunable photochemistry
A 3D printing technology developed by Silicon Valley startup, Carbon3D, enables objects to rise from a liquid media continuously rather than being built layer-by-layer as they have been for the past 25 years. The technology allows ready-to-use products to be made 25 to 100 times faster than other methods and creates previously unachievable geometries that open opportunities for innovation not only in health care and medicine, but also in other ma...
