Re: 3D printing, powder spreading

Well the video says that that printer uses standard HP inkjet
cartridges, that are gravity fed with binder and can produce 24 bit
color. They say that the material used is plaster. and that the shoe
sole shown in the video takes between 2 to 2 and a half hours. The RAM
chip was printed in 7 minutes.
Amazing, it seems simple enough mechanicaly, I have no idea on the
side of software, and substrate material and binder.

Hope that helps you clear what was said on the video.

Fernando
