3D Printer Creates Prototypes from Paper
Matrix 3D can use new or recycled paper and using colored paper gets users a color model. The printer laminates the paper and then cuts it with a blade as it builds solid structures one layer at a time. The finished model has a consistency similar to carved wood. Mcor notes that the operating costs of the Matrix 3D are fifty times less than other existing rapid prototype machines.
