Built 3D-printer
British student successfully tested in the Sahara Desert apparatus, solid objects are made from molten sand. It runs on solar-powered and uses a laser instead of the traditional focusing the sun's rays.
"Sunny spekatel» ...
The predecessor device Solar Sinter became a "solar torch", presented by the students of the London Royal College of Art Markus Kaiser in August 2010. It gives the optical system on the basis of the spherical lens, which focuses the sun's rays at a single point, forming a natural laser. Joint with a video camera, the laser became a semi-automatic device for burning patterns on the plywood.
By optimizing this technology, Mr. Kaiser built a machine for selective laser sintering - method for producing three-dimensional objects layer by layer by sintering the powder material.
The first model tested in Morocco in February this year, is controlled manually; after changes began to lead the process computer. By heating the sand to the melting point, Solar Sinter forms the subject of a solid in a predetermined pattern. Mr. Kaiser does not result in the device specifications, but it is not required: Remove the end of May in the Egyptian desert video proves its efficiency and the commercial production is too early to say. And whether it is possible? All this is rather "an act of art" than something rational.
... And baked sand saucer. (Here and above photo Markus Kayser.)
The resulting products are rather primitive; container of vitrified sand can be considered more an object of contemporary art. However, the developer Solar Sinter somehow sure remarkable potential of the machine and its application in a purely practical purposes.
