According to the popsci.com on January 5, MIT Media Lab has made out a fully-functioning flute via a 3-D printer. Called the Objet Connex500 rapid prototyper, the printer can print in multiple materials. The flute was in four pieces just after the print and was then assembled by hand。
美国“大众科学”网站5日报道称，麻省理工学院媒体实验室日前用3D打印机“印”出了一个功能完善的长笛！该打印机名为Objet Connex500快速图片打印机，可打印多种材料。据了解，该长笛在刚“出机”时只是四片薄片，随后由研究员手动组合而成。
