rapid liquid printing

a breakthrough 3D printing technology, rapid liquid printing physically draws in 3D space within a gel suspension, and enables the creation of large scale, customized products made of real-world materials. compared with other techniques this is the first development to combine industrial materials with extremely fast print speeds in a precisely controlled process to yield large-scale products. RLP for short, the technology extrudes material from the nozzle of the printer into a vat of gelatinous liquid and it’s this that makes manufacturing products thousands of times faster.
