The 3D printer was built by engineers from the Vienna Institute of Technology and it's much lighter and cheaper than previous 3D printers. The idea is to make this 3D printer the one that people could actually use, instead of being another tall tale and fable that we've heard 3D printers do. Priced at about $1,700, it's still ridiculously expensive but it could possibly be cheaper if there ever is a mass demand for such a device.
The engineers are using the same technology behind typical 3D printers: a synthetic resin that hardens when a beam hits it but this runty 3D printer uses "light beams are just a twentieth of a millimeter thick" which gives it the ability to print things in better detail.

Oh my gosh. I would love to make a ton of things with this. You could make so many cool projects using this!
thats pretty awesome, following
That looks totally fantastic.
my mind = blown. I want a whole stack of them... awesome
is it expencive? and yes you reminded me.. my printer is out of ink
Is this the one they were demoing at CES earlier this year?
i want it! D:
when i first saw a 3d printer i thought that it was seriously cool. it's amazing they've made it smaller but i agree, the price is a bit steep.
