Rapid prototyping printing device combines many advanced technologies

A prototype of a cutting-edge 'three-dimensional printer', a Rapid Prototyping (RP) device, has been successfully developed by a group at the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU). Many core techniques have been integrated to build this three-dimensional printer. These core techniques include nanoscale powder manufacturing technology, precision positioning and process control, powder compounding, specialilsed bonding and cohesion techniques, improved ink injection and driving technology, and an integrated system of three-dimensional inject printing. The technique has also been transferred to a domestic company possessing core technique in printer manufacture.
