Yesterday, we covered the LumiPocket, a pint-sized DLP 3D printer that looks super sleek and, from the looks of it, is actually capable of 3D printing tiny objects. Hopping on the pocket train (can you imagine a tiny train going “choo-choo-choo”??), is the Pocket3DPrinter, another petite printer with a technological twist. The Pocket3DPrinter (potentially) relies on a combination of FDM and SLA 3D printing technology.
Now on Indiegogo, the foldable Pocket3DPrinter is only in the conceptual stages. It hypothesizes the use of an FDM style extrusion technique, like you might see on a MakerBot or an Ultimaker, but, instead of heating up plastic filament, the project’s creator, Steven Middleton, proposes using a UV projecting LED light to harden curable resin onto the build platform.…
