• Resumen

  • A new technique is giving 3D priming the power not just to create novel objects, but to augment and repair things people already own. It should make 3D printing far more useful. To use Encore, a 3D printing system developed by Xiang Chen and his colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, people must first design the section they want to add to an object. The software then scans the object they want to modify, analyses the surface geometry and texture to see where additions can be printed, and then prints the desired extra piece on or around the object.
