ZPrinter 850 3D打印机蓝光笼罩的机舱中即将诞生一个史前人类头骨:打印机吊臂带动喷头,迅速地掠过石膏床。它喷出的液体会将石膏粉末凝结成颅骨横截面的形状。紧接着,吊臂会再次掠过,在横截面上喷出另外一层粉末和液体,凭肉眼很难看出它跟前一层的差别。最初,这些印痕看起来相当抽象,像是餐巾纸上的咖啡渍,而且打印过程慢得像是在用幻灯机来看电影。在接下来的12个小时中,打印机会陆续喷出1 500多层,最后,技术员就可以像这个世界
A prehistoric human skull is about to be born in the blue cabin of the ZPrinter 850 3D printer: the jib of the printer drives the sprinklers and quickly sweeps through the gypsum bed. The liquid it spouts will condense the gypsum powder into the shape of the cross-section of the skull. Immediately afterwards, the boom will sweep again, spraying another layer of powder and liquid on the cross-section, which is hard to see with the naked eye over the previous layer. Initially, these impressions looked rather abstract, like coffee stains on napkins, and the printing process was as slow as watching a movie on a slide projector. Over the next 12 hours, more than 1,500 printers will be ejected one by one, and finally, technicians can be like this world
