Cellphone Capable of 3D Printing?


A new gadget called OLO is opening up new possibilities for 3D printing. Something that used to be thought as reserved for manufacturers and business, is now open for the public's creative uses. From creating little knick knacks, to jewelry, to mini art projects, the options are endless.

The way OLO works is that it attaches to your smartphone and uses its light to produce 3D prints. What is created is chosen on the smartphone via the OLO compatible app and the printer uses a resin that hardens under the smartphone screen's light, Depending on the design, the production time will vary, but from what I see in the video and the amount of funding this project has gotten, it seems promising.
