Orange Maker announces high-res 3D printing technology - Heliolithography
7/8/2014
July 2, 2014, Orange Maker, the LA-based 3D Printing technology startup, has announced today a revolutionary new 3D printing technology - Heliolithography (patent-pending) - that displays significant improvements versus conventional Stereolithography (SL).
Stereolithography is one of oldest methods used to create 3D-printed objects. SLA 3D printer hardens liquid plastic (photopolymer) with an ultraviolet (UV) layer by layer and converts liquid plastic into solid objects.
Similar to SLA, Heliolithography (HL) is a photopolymer-based process that utilizes UV light to cure liquid resin. According to Orange Maker, HL offers "greater theoretical limits on printing speed, options for a greater variety of compatible printing materials" compared to the SLA process, and it also offers "smoother surface finishes, and allows for a level of detail not achievable in current desktop printers."
"The HL innovation provides a solution for photopolymer-based 3D printing that solves the adhesion issues that are common in SLA systems." Doug Farber, co-founder of Orange Maker told 3ders.org.
"In addition, HL technology represents a major breakthrough in process scalability, allowing the printing process to be carried out from the micro-scale through theoretical size limits greater than current large-scale industrial printers."
Orange Maker's first prototype, the Helios One is currently under development. The Helios One is cased in an aesthetic design that includes a silver body and a viewing window. "We believe artistic expression and people's desire to create will always be the driver of innovation in 3D printing." Farber said.
Farber told us, the Helios One will provide the following in comparison to current FDM and SLA desktop printers:
Continuous and efficient build process
Large, scalable build area
Ultra-high resolutions
Reliable printing process with fewer failed prints
Orange Maker team
Orange Maker is led by executive team Kurt Dudley, Doug Farber, and Chris Marion, and was founded by Dudley and Farber in 2011.
Dudley is a multimedia artist who has always been fascinated with merging digital and traditional mediums. As an artist, he felt limited by the fact that the 3D art he was creating was trapped on a computer screen. He began to investigate what types of 3D printing or additive manufacturing technologies were available that he could use to make his 3D designs tangible.
However, he found that the poor resolution, expensive cost, and frequent breakdowns of the 3D printing systems proved to be prohibitive. At that time, this was a very niche technology. He began experimenting with 3D printing, and envisioned ways to make it much more high-quality for his purposes.
Farber, a technology entrepreneur and visual artist, had been working on developing start-up companies in Los Angeles, and began collaborating with Kurt after becoming inspired by 3D printing as well.
Together they created a vision for Orange Maker-- an innovative end-to-end 3D printing technology company. Research and development began on Orange Maker's unique system.
By 2011, they had begun filing intellectual property patents on Heliolithography led by their attorney, Michael Ram, and with direction from their legal advisor, Paul Sipio.
They were joined in 2013 by multi-disciplinary engineer and lead product designer, Chris Marion, who had been developing his own 3D printing hardware and software on the other side of the country. He joined Orange Maker to help with technical development, as well as lead prototyping and development efforts for Orange Maker's proprietary hardware and software.
"The most difficult part of our development was keeping our technology completely under wraps for several years while we completed our research & development and filing of intellectual property on Heliolithography." Farber said. "[We are] very excited to finally announce ourselves and begin collaborating with others who are inspired by the great future of 3D printing technology."
Helios One projects
Orange Maker is currently preparing to manufacture a second generation of prototypes to begin field-testing their product. Additionally, they are in the research and development stage of formulating optimized printing materials for use in an Orange Maker system, as well as developing software tools including Desktop applications and mobile apps that specifically designed for Heliolithography 3D printing systems.
The price point for Helios One is yet to be determined, but Farber said it aims to be accessible to the prosumer market.
"Ultimately, we want to give people the highest quality tools available to use 3D printing for their purposes." Farber said. "We also want to encourage the 3D printing community to be an open and collaborative environment to propel innovation. We are extremely passionate about 3D printing, we want to connect with people who have amazing ways that they want to use this technology."
"Heliolithography is a foundational technology, so there are many ways we can develop and optimize hardware that embodies it for use in a broad range of industries. The possibilities are quite exciting." Farber added.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
