Z Corporation's ZPrinter 350 will create a 3D object of any color you want, so long as it is white
Oct 16th 2009 8:04AM (Engadget)However there are a few downsides:
1) It prints 10 layers per mm, and takes between 30sec-2min a layer, e.g. you start a job before you go home and it'll be done next morning.
2) After printing it's fragile, brittle and inside a cube of powder, so you have dig/brush/suck the excess away to get it out.
3) Infiltration. Once you've dug it out and spent time cleaning away all the excess powder you have to make it tougher. How depends on the powder used. If you've got one you just dunk it in water the put it out to dry. If you've got the other you have to pour/dribble/spray it in superglue, remove the excess and leave to dry.
It's cool, but not cheap to run.
