MIT researchers have developed a rapid 3D-printing technique that uses liquid metal

Researchers at MIT have developed a rapid 3D-printing technique that uses liquid metal to allow for extremely fast prints. The process can manufacture large aluminum components in minutes, whereas many pre-existing techniques would take hours to finish the same build. The technology has already been used to create table legs, chair frames and related furniture parts. It's called liquid metal printing (LMP) and involves directing molten aluminum along a predefined path into a bed of tiny glass be...
