The build volume is 200 x 200 x 150mmm, the print bed has auto-leveling (although strangely doesn’t have a heated bed), and the user interface is a 5-inch color LCD. The specs for this printer are about what you would expect from any other filament-based printer in 2017.
This is the first time it’s been made real. Yes, it’s a full-color 3D printer, and yes, people have been suggesting this type of setup for years. Color is then added layer by layer by a system of inkjets in the head of the printer. How does this work? A special filament (Color PLA, although this filament is white in color) is extruded through a nozzle like any other 3D printer. The da Vinci Color is a full-color, filament based printer. XYZ Printing, makers of the popular da Vinci line of 3D printers, have just released one of the holy grails of desktop 3D printing. Thanks to for the tip! Posted in Art Tagged art, CMYK, color, image, liquid, lite-brite, medical, pump And, for those still looking to scratch the 90s nostalgia itch, there are plenty of other projects using the Lite Brite as inspiration. It’s worth checking out not just for the art but for the amount of detail involved as well. The results of the project are striking, especially when considering that a lot of hurdles needed to be cleared to get this kind of quality, including some physical limitations on the way that the liquids behave in the first place. He was able to use less expensive parts, compared to medical-grade equipment, by using servo-controlled valves and peristaltic pumps, but makes up for their inaccuracies with some detailed math and calibration. The creator created the robot essentially from scratch using an array of 3D printers, waterjets, and CNC machines. The result looks similar to a Lite-Brite using liquids instead of small pieces of plastic. The art is created by pumping a small amount of CMYK-colored liquids into a 24×16 grid, with each space in the grid able to hold a small amount of the colored liquid.

This liquid handling workstation doesn’t create novel drugs, though, it creates art, and performs similar functions to its professional counterparts at a much lower cost in exchange for a lot of calibration and math. They are also extraordinarily expensive, as is most specialty medical research equipment. Liquid handling workstations are commonly used in drug development, and look like small CNC machines with droppers on the ends which can dispense liquid into any container in a grid array.
