| summary |
In this research paper, we present liquid metal printing (LMP), a novel metal additive tech- nique that trades high resolution to achieve fast, scalable, and low-cost printing. Liquid metal printing is conceptually similar to free-form-casting, where a large amount of metal is melted and rapidly dispensed along a predefined toolpath in order to produce a 3D form. To explore the capabilities of LMP, we develop purpose-built hardware to rapidly print aluminum, a material chosen for its ubiquity and near infinite recycle-ability. Furthermore, we assess the feasibility of LMP as a sustainable prototyping tool in product design by rapidly printing furniture-scale parts. These case studies in furniture prototyping demon- strate LMP as a paradigm-shifting approach to enable metal printing in architecture and construction. |
