utc3d printer breaks kickstarter tech funding record [video]
you may be able to download your sneakers before too long, but to really get in on the fun you'll probably want to have a 3d printer at home. enter the form 1, a kickstarter project billed as an affordable, high-resolution 3d printer for professional creators.
just how excited are kickstarter users about a quality 3d printing device they can actually own? the form 1 recently became the site's most-funded tech campaign ever. at time of this writing, it had raised $2.46 million in donations, obliterating its original goal of $100,000. according to kickstarter's listing of campaigns that have raked in the most cash, the previous funding record for the tech category belonged to the oculus rift virtual reality headset, which raised $2.44 million earlier this year.

that record does come with a small caveat though, because of how kickstarter categorizes projects: the pebble watch, for example, raised over $10 million this spring but is listed as a design, not tech, project. a kickstarter spokesperson told mashable tuesday morning that the form 1 was the site's sixth-most-funded project regardless of category.
nonetheless, the form 1 is an intriguing piece of creative hardware. if it's as good as advertised, it should provide an excellent option for makers looking to print out high quality objects of their own at home. so how does the form 1's stereolithography proces work? a laser shapes liquid plastic resin layer-by-layer. each layer of resin then hardens after being exposed to a specific wavelength until the whole object is finished. the form 1 team has also designed custom 3d printing software to go along with its printer.
the form 1's retail price has not yet been set, but rewards for donors may offer some general clues — backers who pledged $2,299 or more will receive a full printing kit, although spots are running out (donation levels go up to $10,000 or more).
check out the form 1 for yourself, then let us know what you think in the comments — how much would you pay for it?

3d打印机刷新kickstarter众筹记录
您可以在不久下载你的运动鞋,但要真正得到的乐趣,你可能会想在家里一个3d打印机。输入表格1,标榜为kickstarter的项目“负担得起的,高分辨率的3d打印机专业的创造者。”
究竟有多兴奋的kickstarter的用户对他们居然可以拥有一个高质量的3d打印设备?该表格1最近成为该网站的最资助的科技活动不断。在写这篇文章的时候,它已经培养了$ 2.46亿美元的捐款,擦掉$ 100,000它最初的目标。根据已倾斜的现金最多的运动kickstarter的上市,对于技术类的以前的资金记录属于oculus公司裂谷虚拟现实的耳机,这引起了$ 2.44万美元,今年早些时候。

这个纪录不来,因为kickstarter上如何分类项目,一个小警告,虽然,:卵石手表,例如,上升了$ 10个万美元今年春天,但被列为一家集设计,不是技术,项目。一个kickstarter的发言人告诉混搭周二上午,该表1是不分类别的网站的第六最资助的项目。
尽管如此,表1是一个有趣的一件创造性的硬件。如果是像宣传的那么好,它应该提供一个很好的选择厂商希望打印出自己的高品质物品在家中。那么,如何在表格1的光固化proces工作?激光形状液体塑料树脂层与层。树脂的每一层在暴露于特定波长,直到整个物体完成后,然后硬化。该表1团队还设计了定制的3d打印软件附和其打印机。
该表1的零售价格尚未确定,但捐助者的回报可能会提供一些一般性的线索 - 支持者谁承诺$ 2,299或以上将获得一个完整的打印工具包,尽管点正在运行的(捐赠水平上升到$ 10,000或以上)。
