Conducting Plastic Experiments - RepRapPro. Carbomorph: Conductive material for 3D Printing of Electronic Sensors. 3D printing technology can produce complex objects directly from computer aided digital designs.
The technology has traditionally been used by large companies to produce fit and form concept prototypes (‘rapid prototyping’) before production. In recent years however there has been a move to adopt the technology as full-scale manufacturing solution. Printed Optics. Disney Research, Pittsburgh Printed Optics is a new approach to creating custom optical elements for interactive devices using 3D printing.
Printed Optics enable sensing, display, and illumination elements to be directly embedded in the body of an interactive device. Using these elements, unique display surfaces, novel illumination techniques, custom optical sensors, and robust embedded components can be digitally fabricated for rapid, high fidelity, customized interactive devices. Printed Optics is part of our long term vision for the production of interactive devices that are 3D printed in their entirety. Future devices will be fabricated on demand with user-specific form and functionality.
