Augmented reality start-up Daqri to develop hologram powered super-fast 3D printing device
The super-fast 3D printer uses a laser to cure a light activated monomer into a solid plastic. The technique is to scan the whole object at once using constant coherent radiation or hologram to create the perfect shape. The whole scanning of the desired object makes the process rapid and precise. The 3D printer flashes a green laser which shines up into a petrified dish full of goo. A paper clip then emerges which seems ghostly at first but turns solid eventually. In seconds, the clip is clean and is ready for use.
The heart of the device is a holographic chip developed by Daqri.
Since the Hologram powered Daqri’s 3D printer does not use the layer by layer scanning technique for printing the solid objects. This way, the output doesn’t suffer from minute strains. In a back and forth technique, the output product is affected by grain-sized heaps or strains.
