Polish 3D printer manufacturer Zortrax has released the Zortrax Inkspire, the company’s first desktop DLP 3D printer which marks the company’s entrance into the the resin 3D printing market.

The DLP technology uses a digital projector screen to flash a single image of each layer across the entire platform at once. Because the projector is a digital screen, the image of each layer is composed of square pixels, resulting in a layer formed from small rectangular bricks called voxels.

More and more companies are putting 3D-printing to their benefit. Volkwagen recently has announced it’s about to use metal printing technology to produce some parts, like gear knobs and custom tailgate lettering, in their cars.

These plans are to be realized within two to three years.

Today we can 3D-print virtually anything from any material: a house out of concrete, a human cornea out of a bio-ink… you name it.

But one of the most common construction material, metal, has not been tamed yet. There’s no mass market 3D printer that can create objects out of metal just as easily as with with plastic.

However, researchers from Yale University think they’ve come up with a way to make 3D printing metal objects easier than ever before.
