The FlashForge Focus 6K printer is a resin 3D-printer specifically designed for the need of the dental market. It is open and can be used for engineering products as well with its  9.25″ industrial monochrome 6K HD screen operates at a resolution of 5760 x 3600 pixels. This allows for a dense pixel distribution and higher printing precision compared to lower resolution resin 3D-printers. To print accurate dental models and applications it is important that the shrinkage adjustment and outline compensation is dialed in properly. These parameters can be found below for the Liqcreate dental and engineering 3D-printing resins.
