How it works
- Light-Activated Materials: A special "ink" or paste (e.g., silver nanoparticles, ceramic paste) is extruded and instantly hardened by a laser or light beam as it exits the nozzle.
- Self-Supporting: Because the material solidifies immediately, it doesn't need layers below it to support overhangs, allowing for complex geometries like freeform coils or intricate internal structures.
