If a 3D printer running a thousand times faster than today's models is intriguing to you then you have not entered the World of Clickbait but rather the World of Science Daily and there are no psychologists for this gig. (Science Daily: Ultra-fast 2-D and 3-D printing: Major advance in field of high-speed beam-scanning devices)
See, I'm tellin' you. Just this evening you were probably saying, "Damn it, I wish I could improve the efficiency of my high-speed beam-scanning device."
A major technological advance in the field of high-speed beam-scanning devices has increased the speed of 2D and 3D printing by up to 1000 times, according to researchers in Penn State's College of Engineering.
Using a space-charge-controlled KTN beam deflector -- a kind of crystal made of potassium tantalate and potassium niobate -- with a large electro-optic effect, researchers have found that scanning at a much higher speed is possible.
Yin said technology like this would be especially meaningful in the medical industry -- high-speed imaging would now be in real-time. For example, optometrists who use a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of a person's retina, would be able to have the 3D image of their patients' retinas as they are performing the surgery, so they can see what needs to be corrected during the procedure.

After that the article goes into a language which appears to resemble English but is incomprehensible to anyone who actually knows the language. It may make sense if you're an Engineer, a really, really good one.
Maybe you ask, "So what?"
Well ...

There you have it. We're not just talking about pervo sex 'bots anymore. (Ithaka: The Robots Are Coming or, Well, You Are)
Note: something we love here at the Rockhouse is the run-on sentence style scientists use in describing their work. No-one else can butcher the language with such inimitable linguistic panache.
Ed: you don't have anything else to add to this science, do you?
Nope.
