Klaus Stadlmann majored 2008 in industrial engineering at the TU Vienna. His degree thesis: "the development of an orthosis used in the supporting and measuring of a torque path of the ankle during rehabilitation" received special honors. At the moment he is finishing his pre-doc in technical sciences at Vienna's Technical University's Institute of Material Sciences and Technologies. Under the supervision of Prof. Stampfl he is involved in a working group concerned with the manufacturing of optical fibers.
About TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

You do realize that that was a time lapse, right? I don't think there are ANY 3d printers that can print that fast. And even though it was a time lapse, it's still pretty darn amazing!

[@RedDevz]

That's so freaking cool! that printer has some interesting applications! Awesome!

[@Ventreel]

Is that Edie Falco from The Sopranos in the first row of audience on the right side ??

[@Snagabott]

That worm is like "WTF?!?"

[@TechyTechz]

Yeah it said it in smaller text in parentheses. I also knew just because I know a little bit about 3d printers. If I were to guess, I would say that took 3-5 hours to make. It might be longer, though.

[@OculusQuestFun]

It may not blend, but it can MAKE a blender!

[@SailorBarsoom]

So this one works with the liquid plastic and a laser? Not some hair-thin filament? We need to start setting these things up in series, so that the entire first layer can be made at once. This is a good step in that direction.

[@lu933964]

can i see it in action somewhere?

[@music2thepeople]

Amazing to think that in comparison to this printer, Willard Wiggins is able to produce sculptures by hand that are as small as only 3 microns. That is smaller than a human blood cell, I wonder if this printer could even manage to print an object that size?

[@AfroNinjaXTVlogs1]

The flying car was made more than a year ago, and presented, on TED, among other places.

[@Solscud007]

How soon until this comes to market? I like it more than makerbot.

"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum. And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on, While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on."

[@ZeldaRhiando]

Great for making really tiny things!

[@FreindlyRanger]

Micro printers, goats that produce spider silk milk...the future is here, but still no fucking flying cars. C'mon scientists, stop messing about, make flying cars!

[@blahismyname]

When he said laser lab, I kinda squealed...

[@beaudeeley]

Pardon the pun... but this is huge! This could pave the way to nano scale or molecular level or even atomic level printing.

[@ahmedelmaamoun6249]

Would you please tell us what is the name of that liquid which solidifies by light or even its main components?

[@gwagwa76]

Resin

[@ahmedelmaamoun6249]

@@gwagwa76 Thank you very much for your reply, so what kind of resin or what its name?

[@jorgenajar2801]

Dr. House!!

[@otamanlvhs]

He's kind of awkward and that reminds me of myself very much.Btw,it's pretty good machine,I can't wait until it's available to the public.

[@AqueousHexia]

He got an arrow to his knee!

[@KarunanKannampoyilil]

i like this video and if compai with Anthony Atala 3D printer will be greate fusion reg and congrad to both amaizing

[@dalanium98]

Could someone explain the Germany email joke? -__-

[@FUNFAIRFILMs]

wateenkutnaam hi, we, funfairfilms, made the video. Music by Ivo Francx.

[@elon92]

Im looking forward to the day when I can throw my old stuff in a large grinder, and on the other side new stuff comes out :D But I might be dead before that happens :( D: ...

[@DanMillsteinzenguy]

Holy Moley can i print a plastic gun? Ain't technology great?

[@elon92]

Oh no, Im not just talking plastics, I mean I want to throw some old broken radios, phones, and other random electronics into the "grinder" and then get a brand new computer :D Or guitar, or whatever I want :D Except for food, I'd be using a DNA printer for that and grow the food :P I've been thinking about this, and if you vaporize any substance and then rapidly cool it you should end up with a fine powder, right? Then just use lasers to melt with extreme precision :D Like on the nano scale? :D
