This 3D Printer Builds Full-Color Paper Models!

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ม.ค. 2016
  • Traditional desktop 3D printers use melted plastic as their build material, but Mcor's printers layer sheets of paper on top of each other to create their models. We check out the new Mcor Arke, a printer that cuts from a large spool of paper, glues those sheets together, and then prints color on them to turn digital files into large paper models!

      @@AustinStanley1 Yeah, "never fail" is far from reality. I can still remember clearing jams from the dot matrix printer because it decided to eat my homework.
      Also "off the shelf paper" is a bit misleading. I doubt you can go to your local Office Depot or on Amazon and just find shelves of this stuff for sale. It dosen't even look like the paper used in dot matrix printers, no folds. I don't know, maybe you can find it in the big industrial label/bill-of-lading printers?

      +Jerry Joe Universities have a shitton of money (in the USA at least) because they charge the students so much.
      Universities that are primarily financed through the state, such as in Germany, have a smaller budget but also don't waste as much on aesthetics such as marble stairs. I'm pretty sure that 9k USD is still fairly affordable to a university if they decide that they need such a machine.

      That scene of wood turned to paper then turned to wood again- to then make a toothpick is depicted in 'Bugs Bunny's Lunar Tunes' (December 02, 1994 VHS release, or about 6:06 mins in on Dailymotion). During Bugs trial, Marvin asserts that Earthlings create pollution, clutter up outer space, and portray space people as monsters. Bugs must show enough evidence to save the earth from Marvin's missile.

    If you want to have 3d printing with full, saturated colors like you dream of then you probably would have to look at "Polyjet" technology by a company named "Stratasys" with a printer named "connex3" or the other ones they make you need now apparently. There's been this yearly "TCT" 3D printing show in Birmingham again fro 26-28 september so maybe there's a new best in the field of 3d full color printing. An older alternative is the "3D Systems Zcorp 650 (Projet 660)" gypsum based full colour 3D printer but apparently print costs are high up to 100$ per print. And the post-processing is intensive. Both of these printers cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Aside from maintenance and print costs. So they aren't really a feasible option for most of the people looking into it. For multicolor 3D printing for individuals and hobbyists there are new options now. Last year Mcor released their paper based thus quite inexpensive to run "Arke" printer for 6500$. And now we have this PLA based " "XYZ da Vinci Color" printer for about 4200$. The quality of color and printing of both this "XYZ da Vinci Color" and the "Mcor Arke" is similar and leave a lot to be desired. Especially when compared to the (albeit very expensive) Polyjet and Gypsum 3D color printing solutions. This product again cuts the cost and improves the accessibility of full color 3D printing. But like you said. The quality is obviously still not where it needs to be. And those who adopt these products will be inevitably footing the bil of technologies in development. But there are also perks to doing that of course. I dream of the day we can get Polyjet quality full colour 3D prints from a desktop printer for low print cost. But that'll probably take a decade if not longer to happen. But I believe it can. It will likely take 2D printer industry giants like Canon, HP, Brother and associates probably to get there. Not too long ago 3D printing for individuals as a concept was alien and hardly imaginable. As were mobile phones. Surely we should be able to get there sooner or later. I think the printing industry giants are held back from 3D printing by the copyright and associated big business interests of their boards, shareholders,nig business. When you can't sell replacement parts or figurines to people anymore. When people just scan, share and 3D print them instead of paying their companies I guess they'll lose a lot of business. 3D printing is a very disruptive technology for many markets I reckon. That's why perhaps they wait. Otherwise it's really quite incomprehensible why major industry giants are letting all these small companies fill the void of 3D printing innovation and sales.

      There are many other factors than decomposition time. It's mostly a systemic question. If the material is biodegradable, it doesnt really matter as long as in the end it becomes dirt. I agree wood is a good example, If you take care of it, it will last you thousands of years, but if it's placed in a moist, fungus rich environment it decompose quickly. Important things to remember is first the time that tree takes to grow to size, secondly the environmental impact in the area of that tree. Wild animals losing their habitat, amount of trees cut in the same area, the tools used for cutting, the liters of diesel consumed by machinery etc. The extraction of the raw material and the chemical processes involved in bleaching, energy required in all processes combined, logistics... it goes on. Recycled paper on the other hand, is a very nice approach. If these guys can use a 75% recycled pulp for instance I will readjust my skeptisism. And we don't know the type of ink and glue used in the machine. Not the resin for rubberising or hardening of the model either. That type of process most likely contaminates the paper so much it can not be recycled.
