This revolutionary new T3D mini-printer can 3D print in multiple colours directly from your smartphone, and can even do it outside!
Riding high on the coat-tails of an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign, T3D is a new Californian 3D-print company. This compact printer develops light-sensitive resins, solidifying them using your smartphone’s lights. This isn’t the first time we have spoken of a company using a smartphone however, previously ONO raised $2m in their fundraiser, to much acclaim.

Development: A Timeline
T3D’s development dates back to 2015 when created by Professor Jeng, in a project at the University of Taiwan. This resulted in the development of the original prototype, and the eventual end product.
T3D have also developed an app in conjunction with the device. This app turns your smartphone into a light projector, similar to a DLP printer. The app comes with a library of 5,800+ 3D models to download, and they can be cut within the application.
