In May of last year, Juho relayed news of a free form 3D printer called Mataerial, by Petr Novikov and Saša Jokić from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and Joris Laarman Studio. The machine, a material extruding robot arm, can print layer by layer onto any surface at any angle by using a fast-curing resin. Since then, the project has evolved to print metal. Joris Laarman Lab, in partnership with Acotech, the team upgraded their resin printer, now called MX3D-Resin, by outfitting the robotic arm with an advanced welding machine.…
