Laminated Object Modeling (LOM)

3D Printer uses Paper & Glue

Just when you thought it was enough having a desktop 3D printer for under 5,000 Dollar, along comes The Mcor Matrix (22,000 Dollar) which Prints 3D using standard 80 gsm A4 paper, at a fraction of the total cost of ownership of current 3D printing technology (no actual numbers), but with operating costs of up to 50 times less.

Basically the unit uses Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM), or layer by layer of paper is cut then glued together to make a 3D object, you can use recycled paper, and the waste paper, can itself be recycled. According to Mcor, the current cost of ownership of a 3D printer is high due to the recurring costs of consumables.  By using paper you can get at the local office supply store, the cost per cubic centimeter is 0.01 Euro.
