Revolutionizing Manufacturing: 3D Printing that is Precise and Low Cost with Error Compensation
3D printing is revolutionizing the way we produce physical objects. It has allowed us to create products with unprecedented precision, at a fraction of the cost of traditional manufacturing methods. Now, a new technique developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge has made 3D printing even more accurate, and significantly cheaper.
The new technique, which the researchers have dubbed ‘error-compensation 3D printing’, uses a combination of computer vision and machine learning to identify and correct errors in the printing process before they become a problem. This means that prints can be produced with a much greater degree of accuracy and precision than was previously possible—all at a significantly lower cost.
