Almost every day we hear of a new advance in 3D printing, which has managed to sneak in a lot of disciplines and fields, offering a versatility that puts us in a wide range of possibilities, and with it you can do virtually everything from dentures, parts, to cars, artificial organs, medicines and buildings.
It is a reality that 3D printing is here to stay, and now only need to finish maturing and is available to anyone, but this does not mean that this technology cannot continue to evolve, on the contrary, maturity only means that it is now able to take the next step and that is new 3D printers while floating objects.
Comes the ability to print on any area of the object
A few days ago, he was granted a new patent to the famous company aircraft Boeing, which consists of an advanced 3D printing objects levitating, eye, is not that the resulting object acquires the ability to levitate itself alone, but while the object is printed it is floating, so they have a new possibility to design in various angles and areas of this object.
The system consists of a magnetic base, or equipped with a system of acoustic waves, on this the core material to be printed is placed, and through multiple printers will be added materials and shaping the object, this according to design you have been chosen. Printers may change heads and shoot a greater or lesser amount of material, and it can be of different textures types.

The advantage of this levitation is that while the fleet object can be manipulated in any direction, something that 3D printing cannot do today, because everything is bottom – up, there is no possibility of printing on the basis object.
Since 2015, companies such as Lufthansa, Atos and the same Boeing reported that they had started using parts and printed parts in 3D for your aircraft, so the idea of Boeing, who has actually used 20,000 printed 3D parts for its planes, is to have greater flexibility when creating these pieces, and not face the limitations that are currently presented with 3D printers.
Note that this is just a patent; so far there is no device capable of performing this task and offer these options, including the final product may be very different from what we have thought of that patent. Therefore, we have to wait.
