LGO SuperPrinter

In business and education, humans are increasingly living at an interface between the physical world and the digital world. Often, we consider the devices and tools that take us into the digital world - computers, smartphones, and wearable devices all may be within your reach at this moment.

However, there is another class of devices which translates the digital world into one that we can interact with physically. 3D printers are an example of one such device which has seized public imagination. This human use analysis will take a deeper look at a humble forerunner of additive manufacturing: the laser printer.

Specifically, this analysis will look at a new Konica Minolta Bizhub 368 printer installed in the MIT LGO lounge which has been dubbed the "SuperPrinter."
