    ^your opinion ^3D ^. ^Justify your opinion.

    This article is about a top down 3D printer that uses a liquid resin and laser grid to print objects from the top down. This process is faster and has a better layer height resolution than bottom up methods used by most ABS and PLA printers. I think it is an interesting concept; but, I am not a fan of it. From what I have seen, the printer prints solid objects faster than filament printers yet if you count in time for the object to be dried and cleaned of the fluid, I don’t think much time would be saved. Also, the prints seem less stable than ABS and more brittle than PLA. Another issue with it is that the concept is not easily scalable. A printer with 3 cubic inches of liquid is easy to make and manage for tiny prints. Scaling this technology up to anything larger than a cubic yard would get very messy and expensive very quickly. Personally I am more of a fan of the concept of a ceiling/tripod mounted printer that uses the ground as a print bed and 3 retractable strings to position itself and move. This would allow for a very large print bed in a fairly portable and lightweight machine.

  2. 1. This article is about the new liquid-based 3-D printer. Usually, it takes hours to print something with a 3-D printer. However, this new invention only requires minutes to print entire models. In addition, it prints smooth and complex objects with ease. Normal 3-D printers print rough objects with hard surfaces.
    2. I really like the liquid 3-D printer. This invention is all-around impressive. It can be used to make very intricate models in a matter of minutes. If the prototype it makes serves its intended purpose, then it would be eligible to be produced on a larger scale. This 3-D printer is perfect for engineers who want to make new inventions. They could use this printer to either make all the parts they need or, in some cases, print the entire model as a whole. What I find the most impressive about this invention is how extremely complicated the printing process is. The fact that it uses ultraviolet light to harden layers directly above the bottom of a pool of liquid resin is astounding. It also amazes me that the printer is able to manipulate the amount of oxygen the object being printed is exposed to. This is because this factor significantly increases the printing speed.

  3. 1.) This article is about a 3D printer that uses a liquid residue instead of plastic as its material. Basically this is supposed to be an improvement from the 3D printers that use plastic because it can print your desired project faster. Not to mention the liquid texture is better than that of the plastics in the finished product. It is said to print from 25 to 100 times faster than the standard plastic printer.

    2.) Obviously, I think this is great and innovative, its an overall improvement from the plastic printer. Personally, I don't fins the 3-D printers too interesting but that is my opinion alone. This is a serendipitous surprise to me because I had never heard anything about this new printer.

  4. Second time I wrote this means 50 x 2 = 100 of 100 points, thx

    1) This article is about a new 3D printer using a liquid residue instead of plastic. By doing this, this printer is able to boast speeds up to 100 times faster than plastic-based printers. The prints also look better than plastic printing.

    2) Wow. What a time to be alive! I just do not have words to express how ecstatic I am that someone revolutionized this product. I think every business, no, person should adopt this technology no matter what it takes. Second mortgage? Done. Loan from an illegal loan shark? Check that off the list. This product is A-Mazing. I can die happy just knowing it exists.

  5. 1. This article is about a new type of 3-D printer. I always thought the 3-D printer world would start expanding greatly and eventually there would be as many different types of 3-D printers in the world and there are regular printers. This printer uses a liquid that dries into a solid form.

    2. You know, AlexMinardo is right. Not only is this product is so important that everyone should have it, but it should be legally mandated that every man, woman, and child has at least one 3-D printer. There should be a 3-D printer Welfare program for those less fortunate in other countries. Here in American the poorer families can go to the loan shark. But the government needs to start buying and supplies African children and families with these printers. One day, the whole world will have at least one.

  6. 1. The article is about a 3D printer that uses a liquid as a printing material. This is supposed to produce better looking products when finished and be quicker to print a final products.

    2. I think its a great step forward for 3D printing. It is an overall improvement in my opinion because the look and print time have both improved. Those two things are the biggest concerns when printing. So those being improved is really great.

  9. 1. This article is about a liquid printer and how its better than regular 3D printing. The regular 3D printer takes more than a hour to print an object while the liquid printer can print in minutes. As well as being faster the liquid printer makes smooth edges and is overall just a better 3D printer.

    2. I think it is a great invention, it just shows how far technology has advanced. The liquid 3D printer is just a advanced 3D printer with a lot of improvements. Overall a very good invention for creating objects such as knifes which is always nice.

  10. This is the new liquid-based 3-D printer. Usually, it takes hours to print something with a 3-D printer. However, this new invention only requires minutes to print entire models. It prints out awesome smooth 3D models.
    I really like the liquid 3-D printer. It is so cool and stuff. I think it will lead to new possibility in the realm of 3D printing. There are lots of things they do well and other things that i can see as possible problems. yeah! Teamwork. Yay, Blogs

  11. 1. This article is about a new method of 3d printing one that involves printing with liquid This method is not only much faster it can print smooth objects as well. something previous 3d printers had failed to do.

    2.I am super excited it is not only a much faster print its a much more accurate print down to 20 microns. The e exciting thing is that tit will be commercially available in about a year which means that normal people could own something which is where my real interest lies. being able to print smooth objects faster would make this a much more effective product.

  12. 1. The article is about a new method for 3 dimensional printing from molding in liquid, rather than building the product ground up. The main problem with current 3d printing is the time it takes for the printer to physically mold and print the product. Thats where this new method comes in. It takes minutes rather than hours to produce.

    2. In my opinion the method is not only an innovation in technology, but it is also very interesting. It holds capabilities of more precise printing that can lead to medical uses, as well as hard technical uses. Once the method is fully tested, and available for distribution, it is going to change the way plants, factories, and how companies do their work. I support further research and development for liquid 3d printing.

  13. 1. 3D liquid printing, something that seems to come straight from a horror movie where a newly born villain rises from the dark liquid vat might now be possible. Super Villains get your check books out and thank the researchers at UNC Chapel Hill for their newest creation. Now it will cut those costly hours into the shear minutes, evil geniuses can now build their armies in no time!

    2. All joking aside it's a huge step forward in the 3d print world that will be a huge innovation in the tech industry. It is also much more accurate which in the Medical field could possibly mean the difference between life and death. Awesome job UNC researchers!

  14. 1. This article was about a cool new method of 3D printing that is supposedly much faster and uses less energy to do. It makes use of liquid and instead of layering like it used to, it instead pulls it out of the liquid while using ultraviolet lights to selectively harden specific parts of it in order to create some cool designs. I would imagine this could have some really cool industrial uses if the size can be increased.

    2. It's actually really cool. One of the most inconvenient parts of 3D printing is the material and the time it takes to print. So, increasing it's efficiency while using an easier to use liquid instead of filament could greatly improve 3D printing.

  15. 1. This article is about a new, efficient and bada** way of 3D printing (T-100 is now a reality!). Instead of taking hours waiting for a creation it takes minutes and it promises a more smooth surface and overall better quality with more complex objects and just in general.

    2. I think it's really cool and impressive. 3D printing up until has taken a lot of time and were rough and didn't always turn out correctly. But this claims to fix all of those problems and it looks SO cool!
