Disney Research Files Patent for 3D Printing Without Layers

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Disney Research has filed a patent application for technology that is described as a new 3D printing process that will print a fully 3D object all at once rather than layer-by-layer. The patent contains several different variations of the process, including one that would allow users to place a real world object on a designated capture platform and then duplicate it in a vat of liquid resin almost instantly. Basically, Disney Research just invented the “3D Copier.” It’s a process that will be capable of what could be described as instantaneous 3D scanning and 3D printing.
