The T-1000 is Coming. Revolutionary 3D Printing Grows Objects From a Pool of Liquid

This is really cool. The advance is nearly staggering for it's impact on 3D printing moving to and dramatically increasing abilities in manufacturing, medicine, and design. Believe it or not, the idea came from the Terminator Movies. Here's proof that there are still some amazing men of the mind out there.
From the article:
"If you think conventional 3D printing is cool, wait until you see Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) in action. It takes the creation of objects to a fantastic new level, rising from a pool of liquid media like the cyborg cop in Terminator 2."
And:
"The new technology can make ready-to-use products 25 to 100 times faster than conventional 3D printing, and vastly expands the materials that can be used and the geometries that can be achieved. It will open doors to innovations in health care and medicine, as well as the automotive and aviation industries."
They think that soon, they can have the speed up to 1,000 times faster.

It's an exciting suit. Seems clear on it's face, but you never know what the government will pull. But using an anti weapons technology act to stop free speech and internet information sharing of intentional open source material is overboard.
But DD actually planned for this type of reaction from the government. Cody Wilson is a brilliant anarchist (?). I'm still trying to figure out that part.
What a marvelous demonstration of the abilities of 'men of the mind'.
Where this technology will be a threat to copyright owners is its capability of 3D-printing items that are actually robust and useful, as well as economic, instead of the extruded plastic crap we have now.
But it's when 3D printers become capable of printing down to molecular level that the fur will really start to fly! The DEA, amongst others, will suddenly find themselves completely helpless.
Its either that or another 'War On----' by the government against its citizens, even more draconian than the 'War on Drugs'. Aha, another great idea for a post. You're welcome to do the post if you come up with before I do.
Rhymes with "morons"
:D
Soon they be trying to print food...hope they realize that food is alive, has living organisms in it that are necessary to provide benefit to the body. If they can do it there will be no need for GMO anything.
I don't understand why these guys are saying they are 3-D, while everyone else is 2-D x N. Do they really solidify spherical pixels? How do the light sources project? This seems like a manipulation of wording that is not well-supported in physics. It seems like a robotics feature, not fundamental to the printing technology.
