Carbon3D printed objects magically emerge from a resin pool

The future of 3D printing isn’t Lego-driven hot glue guns (as amazing as those are). No, it’s this wild-looking machine that pulls fully-formed three-dimensional objects out of a pool of goop.

And yes, it’s a real thing. This is the Carbon3D printer, and it’s said to be anywhere from 25 to 100 times faster than the 3D printers most of us are familiar with today — like the ones made by Solidoodle and MakerBot.

Formlabs already makes a relatively low-cost one:

$3,300

 

For home use, Makerbot is the only way to go.
