新科技:上傳圖片就能製作3D塑料玩具
A machine that can create any 3-D object out of plastic in a few minutes was unveiled at a trade fair in Las Vegas this week. To use this device, called the "Thing-O-Matic ", people must create or download a 3-D image on their computers, then transfer the image to the Thing-O-Matic. As the final step, the "Thing-O-Matic" heats plastic to 200 centigrades and squirts them onto a platform inside the machine, building up objects layer by layer.
一款可以在十幾分鍾內製作出任意3D塑料製品的新型機器本週亮相拉斯維加斯的一個貿易展。據瞭解，要想使用這款名爲“自動之物”的機器，人們首先需要在電腦上繪製或者下載3D圖像，然後將圖片傳至機器。作爲最後一步，“自動之物”會將塑料加熱至200攝氏度並噴射至機器內的操作檯上，層層澆鑄直至完成製作。
