Each resin is different and needs a certain energy to polymerize. In technical terms this is called Ec, or critical energy. This is the minimal energy to get (in theory) a micron thick layer to cure. Also how much the thickness of a polymerized piece increases after longer exposure is an important factor. In technical [...]

3D-printing can be a lengthy process as most 3D-printing techniques focus on part quality rather than print speed. For resin 3D-printing, this is not much different. There are some new production grade techniques like 3DSystems Figure 4, Carbon3D DLS and EnvisionTEC / ETEC Envision One that use an oxygen permeable membrane to reduce peel forces [...]

Recent developments in resin based 3D-printing materials made it possible to 3D-print flexible, elastic and soft resins. Before these developments, flexible materials or TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes) were only available for FDM and laser sinter printers (SLS). With the development of flexible, elastic and soft 3D-printing resins for SLA, DLP and MSLA 3D-printers, everybody can now [...]

Several 3D-printing techniques like SLA, MSLA and DLP are used to cure photosensitive resin layer by layer and form a 3D-printed object. To get a 3D-printed part, a DLP printer uses a DMD chip to expose the right pixels in each layer. In a MSLA 3D-printer, this is done with an LCD screen. Both images [...]

In the beginning of DLP 3D-printers, the jargon were quite easy. There were mainly HD projectors available and in some exotic models, the manufacturers chose for a 4K DLP projector. In today’s hardware and material landscape, the different techniques and marketing expressions are endless and sometimes confusing. In this article we explain the differences in [...]
