In quite a remarkable unveiling, Cyprus-based Ilios 3D has today unveiled their Ilios Ray 3D Printer. The printer uses four chambers of resin to allow for the printing of an unlimited number of colors within a project. Priced at over $18,000, the machine certainly is not affordable, however, the technology behind it seems like the price may be warranted. The printer is almost entirely automated from the printing, to the cleaning process to the removal of any object.
