HP has just revealed a lot more information about the 3D printing technology it teased dramatically a few months ago. It's called "Multi Jet Fusion," and the company thinks it can "change entire industries." The original goal was to make 3D printers build objects at higher resolution and much, much faster, speeds. Based on the demos we saw today, that claim looks feasible. Essentially, the 3D printer builds parts similar to how an inkjet printer produces documents -- the "ink" is applied to a material coating, then heated and fused to build up layers (see below). That's substantially different to how mainstream 3D printers work, and HP said that it could make products like gears at least ten times faster than conventional manufacturing techniques...

HP service absolutely sucks. Unless they gave the printer and a year’s worth of supplies free, I wouldn’t buy it.

If the printer medium is priced anything like their ink, you’ll be able to print a coffee cup for $475.

So let me get this right. She just has to push one button and it creates a cup and fills it with coffee?
