N2 - This research utilizes a 2D printer mechanism from a commercial available inkjet printer, combines with hardware and software to build up a new concept 3D printer. This 3D printer can receive printing information from personal computer, and setting the required layer thickness to stack those layers into a solid model. The largest build volume is 300×420×350 mm, print head resolution is as high as 1200×2400 dpi, and the life of printer head is longer than 12 weeks which is far longer than 4 weeks of Z Corp's. There are many specifications are better than or equivalent to those of Z Corp's Z-510 which is the state-of-art machine of this powder based rapid prototyping.
