A research group at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) designed something they call better, cheaper, and more users --friendly 3D-
Printer-MultiFab.
The name is because it can use an unusually large number of materials at the same time during the manufacturing process-other existing ones
The printer can only use three at a time.
In the August 9 study
At the 13 SIGGRAPH 2015 meeting, the researchers stressed that MultiFab is much cheaper while providing \"better\" product quality.
The invention is more than the traditional 3-
3D printer, due to 3D-
The team developed scanning software called \"computer vision\" for the device.
The study was published in the SIGGRAPH 2015 record and also in the CSAIL paper at MIT.

Wired quoted the author of the study as saying.
\"The more expensive printer has this mechanical system that can scan each layer and make sure it\'s flat and laid out correctly.
Considering that we are using a machine vision system, we do not need extreme mechanical tolerances for this mechanismcontact.
\"It will scan and correct the layers, so we don\'t need these very expensive mechanical parts,\" he added . \".

According to the MIT team, it will be possible to plug specific components-including complex components such as sensors and circuits-directly into the printer.
The machine will then incorporate the parts into the final product by identifying them and continuing to print around them.

The machine compares each print layer to the scan and detects errors that produce what the researchers call a \"correction mask.

It also allows the printer to work without the expensive mechanical systems traditionally installed in these devices to help the user do a good jobtuning.
