This particular 3D printer works piece by piece and bit by bit to mold and harden the resin. Once a couple of pieces have been molded they can then be put together to form the object the user is going for. This particular method, called “additive manufacturing technology” allows for their smaller printer to form “complicated geometrical objects with an intricate inner structure, which could never be made using casting techniques,” according to Stadlmann.This particular printer is about the size of a carton of milk and is currently priced at around 1,200 Euros ($1,700). While that may not seem all that cheap, the fact that this is still relatively new technology as well as the implications of that technology needs to be taken into account. Stadlmann and Hatzenbichler also say that efforts are already underway to reduce both the size and cost of these printers.
