ARCHITECT MAGAZINE: A 3D-PRINTING BREAKTHROUGH INSPIRED BY A FRENCH PAINTER
​
In a new approach, objects may be printed all at once. The connection to pointillism is how the laser used to sinter powdered material is distributed into many individual rays. Leading this breakthrough is the Wilmington, Mass.–based Seurat Technologies—named after the painter himself—which can create metal objects with a laser of 2.3 million pixels.

​
“Designing for a specific manufacturing process is a nuisance at best, and impediment at worst,” explained DeMuth. “Seurat essentially evens the playing field where designs don't have to have specific characteristics in order to leverage AM. If part fabrication cost can be competitive to traditional fabrication, then engineers don't need to create a business case for AM based on part consolidation.”

THE ECONOMIST: A NEW TYPE OF 3D PRINTING MAY BRING IT INTO THE MAINSTREAM
​
The origin of this process, trademarked “Area Printing”, goes back to 2009. That was when James DeMuth, having finished his master’s degree in mechanical engineering at Stanford University, started work at the National Ignition Facility, part of the American Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (llnl). This uses some of the world’s most powerful lasers to study nuclear fusion.
