3D Printer Transformed Into A Tattooing Machine

At the exhibition “Future Of Design And Engineering,” which was held in Paris last week, students of the design school ENSCI-Les Ateliers presented a Tatoué project – a 3D printer remodeled into a tattooing machine capable of making tattoos in automatic mode. In the process of development, the equipment was tested on silicone and recently on the human’s skin: on a forearm of a volunteer Tatoué made a perfect circle.

Human skin is much more elastic than the silicone, so inventors said, that they are looking for a method to tighten the area under the needle. So far machine is very successful in making simple images: lines or geometrical figures. The developers are planning to upgrade it to make more complex designs.
