marcell mars's personal annotations on this page
Inspired by the ease with which he could build sugary solids, Anderson decided to perform an experiment in precision sculpting. He borrowed an old ink-jet printer that printed by shooting ink straight down, put some sugar on an index card, and put the card inside the printer. When the printer had finished spraying ink onto the pile of sugar, Anderson took the index card out of the printer and lifted up the newly-formed 3-dimensional letters. Just as he had suspected, the act of applying ink to sugar crystals transformed the crystals into precisely sculpted solid objects. Pleased with these results, Anderson and Bredt set out to build a machine to take advantage of this breakthrough in "3-D printing." The first machine included parts from an old ink-jet printer and an abandoned wafer-transfer machine.
