A new high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being printed in real-time. This rendering shows a robot being built layer-by-layer using the process. The black spheres represent the material that the printer uses. The material is then cured by UV light, represented in blue. At the top of the image are the cameras that scan the procedure and adjust accordingly.
