Quick as a blink: Chinese scientists unveil 3D printing in under a second

Chinese scientists have developed a new technique that solidifies liquid into three-dimensional objects in under a second, making for the world’s fastest 3D printing. 3D printing is no longer a novel concept – whether it is tech enthusiasts creating digital objects, metal printing conducted in space, customised bone structures for patients or even military units using 3D-printed parts for weapon repairs. However, these technologies still rely on mechanical scanning by a printing nozzle, build...
