MIT and University of Texas researchers have developed what they say is the first chip-based 3D printer, a major step towards a portable, palm-sized 3D printing device.
Smaller than a coin, the device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, said MIT in a news release.
The Robert J. Shillman career development professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), and a member of the Research Laboratory of Electronics, senior author Jelena Notaros, said the system completely rethinks what a 3D printer is.
