MIT student builds pocket-sized 3D printer that uses light to create objects in secs
SMRTR summary
MIT researchers have developed a pocket-sized 3D printer that uses light to create objects in seconds. The device consists of a single millimeter-scale photonic chip that emits reconfigurable light beams into resin, enabling rapid fabrication of customized objects without moving parts. This innovation combines silicon photonics and photochemistry to create a compact, portable, and low-cost 3D printing solution that could transform manufacturing by allowing users to produce objects on-the-go.
