There are some obvious caveats to rapid liquid 3D printing. First of all, it needs a tank filled with that special gel. This is going to be a challenge to maintain, and even 3D resin printing ...

SLA 3D printers utilize a kind of prototypical plastic called resin, which is selectively cured and hardened into a solid plastic shape. The liquid resin used in this process is highly receptive ...

Resin-based 3D printers using digital light processing ... while SLA/DLP printers use an ultraviolet light source to cure liquid UV resin into a solid. Both build a three dimensional object ...
