Augmented reality startup DAQRI 3D prints with holograms

成立于2010年,DAQRI是增强现实(AR)技术的供应商,总部位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶。DAQRI目前的全息图产品项目速度表和GPS可视化范围在挡风玻璃上,并提供制造条件的AR数据读数,即压力,温度,机器的速度。

Adding to the general list of surprising celebrity 3D technology investors like足球运动员Mathieu Flamini, actor Ashton Kutcher has a stake in DAQRI.

In addition to their range Microsoft Hololens type headsets, the company is looking to use holograms to polymerize 3D objects in resin.

3D printing with holograms

The technology works in a similar manner to standard DLP 3D printer only with lasers in place of a projector. In this conceptual stage, the DAQRI hologram 3D printer is only producing small 3D objects, like paperclips, that have the same geometry throughout.

Enhancing the exposure time on a DLP 3D printer would effectively produce a paperclip in the same amount of time as this hologram approach, but DAQRI’s proposition hopes to be more advanced than that.

Projecting an image of an object in its entirety, instead of in layers, is the key concept that makes this development so interesting from a production point of view. Making objects in layers is the very core of 3D printing’s success, but it is also a hindrance to the speed of 3D prints. Theoretically, hologram 3D printing would be dramatically faster than the current processes. But in order to make it successful, they’re going to need a lot more lasers.

理想情况下,全息图3D打印机将从X和Y轴上的激光器上射出物体的图像,并有可能制成整个梁的网格。奇异的横梁不足以治愈树脂,但是结合在一起,它们足以打印一个物体。由于与光聚合物热的放热反应,也可能是一个问题。

Industry 4.0

不管Daqri开发的方法如何,该技术将需要大量的处理能力,并增强目前的耳机的功能是公司的当前目标。

As industry-focused technology, DAQRI’s headsets have the potential to be key parts of theIndustry 4.0’s Smart Factories of the future。3D设计公司DassaultSystèmes类似地利用了增强的现实技术,已经实施了HTC涉足他们的3DExperience 3D模型查看器
