A sublimating printer has been patented in the US and is currently being used in the production of an invitational invitation printing machine.
According to the patent application published on February 25, 2018, the printer can turn an invitation into a 3D object, which is then printed on a substrate, such as metal.
The print is then transported to the printer for final assembly.
This is an advancement over the traditional method of extruding a model into a flat substrate.
The printer also allows for a greater amount of printing, as it can print more objects than it can in the traditional way.
It is believed that the printer could be used to print more items than it has the capacity to handle.
