Early 2023 we wrote chapter 1 of this article about the new function in Chitubox V1.9.4 and the shrinkage (offset-compensation). We liked the setting, but it seemed incomplete compared to the more professional printers were you have a scaling factor and an off-set to reach extreme high accuracy. I would almost expect that Chitubox read [...]

Liqcreate ESD is an opaque black photopolymer resin and can be processed on most resin based 3D-printers. 3D-printed parts from this material exhibit electrostatic discharge properties needed for electronic manufacturing and parts for ESD-safe work places. Liqcreate ESD can be used on open DLP, LCD and SLA 3D-printers in the range of 385 – 420nm. [...]

The basics of resin 3D-printing are based upon the exact curing of resin at a specific location in the XYZ space. Within regular 3D-printers, the Z resolution is better defined as its layer thickness. while the XY resolution is defined by the imaging technology that makes the resin cure. From the earlier days, these were [...]

Photocentric has announced a new resin 3D-printer. Over the past years they have already introduced some extremely large LCD / MSLA based type resin 3D-printers with the LCD Opus and the LC Magnus. Now they surprised everybody with an even bigger printer called the Photocentric Titan! This printer has a staggering build volume of 700 [...]

Everyone who has a 3D-printer must have heard about Lithophanes by now. 3D-printed images that will turn into stunning pictures when a light or lamp is placed behind it. Before the prices of the resin 3D-printers dropped by the introduction of more affordable LCD printers, FDM printing technology was mostly used. These FDM printers did [...]

The use of resins in applications with extreme athmospheres is increasing. A lot of information is already available on our website regarding thermal aging of 3D-printing resin, UV-stability of resin or using 3D-printing resins in contact with petrol or other chemicals. Additionally, in an earlier study Liqcreate Strong-X was placed in freezing conditions. Now the question [...]

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is known as static electricity” These discharges occur when an electric charge is built up and transferred to another object. Some parts are sensitive to this electrostatic discharge and need to be protected. ESD-safe resin reduces the discharge of static electricity and prevents damage to products. This is done by slowly dissipate [...]

Electrostatic discharge resins (ESD resin) are materials that reduce static electricity build up. A static dissipative class of materials with 10^5 to 10^8 Ohms is required to eliminate electrical discharge. These materials are frequently required for example in these applications listed by rapidmade.com: Electronics – to prevent static charge from shorting circuit boards and damaging [...]
