About nine months ago, we got a first look at a freely articulating 3D printer,
developed by Joris Laarman Lab in collaboration with the Institute for
Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC). By extruding a special
fast-curing resin with a multi-jointed robotic arm, MATAERIAL proposed a
"radically new 3D printing method," suitable for "irregular or
non-horizontal surfaces." Now, the Dutch designer has unveiled his
latest breakthrough in liberating digital fabrication from a build
platform: As its name suggests, MX3D-Metal can print lines of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze or copper "in mid-air."
