Scientists Create New Form Of 3D Printing Based On Terminator 2’s T-1000
I’ve seen Terminator 2 enough times to know that you should NEVER use it as inspiration for scientific advancements. Seriously, who would watch that movie and think to themselves, “I think that’s a good course to go on!”
However, the scientists over at University of North Carolina have published a paper where they show off a new form of 3D printing that uses “continuous liquid interface production”, which was inspired by the T-1000, originally played by Robert Patrick. They’ve also created a new company by the name of Skynet Carbon3D that will be the platform by which they mass produce and sell these new printers.
Currently, 3D printers work by printing layer after layer on top of one another. This new printer instead works by printing the object directly out of a bath of liquid resin using a process known as photopolymerization.
Below is a video that shows off the printer in action and you can head over to Vox to read more about the process and the science behind the machine.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
