3D printing + robot: creating a perfect tattoo printer

One of the most immortal factors of the human spirit is the pursuit of conquering the unknown. As a species that has built a huge civilization, spanning thousands of years, almost every advancement that has been encountered on this road begins with a simple question: "If so... what will happen?"

For the young French designers - Pierre Emm, Piotre Widelka and Johan Da Silveira - the question becomes: What if a 3D printer is turned into a tattoo machine?

The team met in college and soon realized that they had something in common. "We met when we were working on different projects, which quickly led us to the idea of ​​making tattoos with robots." Not long after, local the maker culture space le FabShop proposed to accomplish this task, they only need a desktop 3D printer and a tattoo needle.

However, in the middle of this process, there are still many questions about how to quickly and accurately inject 3D printers into the skin. For this reason, the team recently worked with Autodesk to solve this problem.

And this is one of the biggest obstacles to using a 3D printer for tattooing. To put it mildly, the curves of the human arm are not compatible with the functions of a typical 3D printer. Therefore, they have to learn robotics, such as you may often The kind of industrial robot that will be seen in modern automobile manufacturers.

Using industrial robotic arms and 3D scanning technology, they are able to use the information obtained from 3D scanning to teach extremely precise robotic arms for tattooing a person.

David Thomasson of the Autodesk Applied Research Laboratory pointed out: "Our research is really concerned with the possible closer relationship between humans and machines in the near future. The project really pushed it to the limit. In the original, these machines Designed to be separated from humans, there are significant barriers between them. Many of these are new areas."

So, can we turn a 3D printer (or general industrial robot) into a tattoo artist? The answer given by the development team is very positive.

Finally, after a lot of 3D scanning, data mapping and careful preparation, the entire device was finally installed and successfully completed the tattoo test. David Thomasson described the process. “Everyone in the room is a little nervous to hold their breath. Look at the needle piercing the skin and continue working. Its movements are so elegant, so precise and beautiful.”
