Don’t use toner for laser printing? The prototype of new technology has been born. Laser pointer printing always consumes toner. We have been using it for so many years. I also think that this method is a reasonable method. I never thought: Can I invent a laser printer without toner?
Someone did. A student from the Netherlands uses today’s 3D printing technology to display text by burning a paper surface into black with a single laser beam. Of course, this is just a prototype, and the sintering speed is not fast, and the power required is also being explored.
In the 3D printed laser pointers sintering technology, one layer can be burned quickly, so if the related technology is introduced into it, it is not a big problem to quickly “print” a sheet. The remaining questions become how to adjust the power and how to arrange it if multiple lasers are used. This method is damaging to paper, and is not the same as toner fixing, but as a printing method that does not require consumables, once the prototype machine is mass-produced, some places may try it.
Laser drive equipment continues to make breakthroughs, giving new vitality to the production line. With the continuous transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry, today’s manufacturing industry is increasingly showing an intelligent, networked, and precise model. The combination of laser technology and various automation technologies has further promoted the development of China’s manufacturing industry to a high-end level. Today’s laser technology has been widely used in areas such as machining, electronics manufacturing, integrated circuits, spray welding, communications, medical, energy, and autonomous driving.
