MASS PRODUCTION OF END-USE PARTS IN A DIVERSE RANGE OF MATERIALS

A vat of photopolymer is exposed to light from a UV projector, a process known as DLP (Digital Light Projection). The UV projector displays a pattern of light onto the build head area equal to a layer of the part where the exposed liquid polymer hardens, then the process is then repeated layer by layer until the parts are complete. With in-situ analytics combined with automatic pressure, separation force and temperature regulation to ensure the first part is the same as the last part.
