Researchers from MIT, ETH Zurich, and MIT spinout Inkbit have developed a new 3D inkjet printing system that utilizes computer vision to automatically scan the 3D printing surface and adjust the amount of resin each nozzle deposits in real time. This contactless system works with materials that cure more slowly than the acrylates which are traditionally used in 3D printing, and is about 660 times faster than a comparable 3D inkjet printing system. The researchers used this printer to create complex, robotic devices that combine soft and rigid materials, such as a robotic gripper shaped like a human hand.
