  Resin printers build 3d objects using 2d layers. UV printers can apply 2D layers to 3d objects. Imagine a permanent phone skin. The objects can have some curvature. I’ve seems some pretty neat designs applied to retro handheld gaming systems.

  Yes. It prints similar to an inkjet printer, but the dyes are UV-curable.

    So it’s a like a 2D printer but with like 3mm of height? What’s the “ink” made of?

      Well, kind of. Its main use is to customize existing stuff, like printing pictures on a phone case, custom key caps, and such. I don’t know what the ink is made of - I’m guessing a UV curable binder and pigments? Or liquid gold, judging from the price…

      It can print on any surface so you could throw a mug in there and print on the side of it apparently. 3D printers require a flat bed to print an object on.
