From the beginning of SLA and DLP 3D-printing, rigid resins were the main available materials. Rigid resins are easy to print and do not need a great amount of skill and knowledge about the printing process. With new developments in resin technology, flexible, tough and high elongation resins are widespread available. With the development of Premium [...]

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 [...]

If you own any kind of 3D-printer, you must have heard about Lithophanes by now. Lithophanes are 3D-printed images that will turn into stunning pictures when a light is placed behind the lithophane. Before resin 3D-printers got affordable by the introduction of more affordable LCD printers, FDM printing technology was mostly used. These FDM printers [...]

During resin 3D-printing, the liquid photopolymers polymerize and turn into a solid. If the shrinkage is big, it will ruin the dimensional accuracy of your end-part. So you want to limit the amount of shrinkage as much as possible. This could be done by first try to eliminate the most shrinkage by smart material choice. [...]

it is possible to reduce the power of the LED’s in almost all professional 3D-printers and also in some new entry-level MSLA / LCD 3D-printers. We sometimes get questions why we would not always advise to print at 100% UV LED power. In this article we explain the reasons and how to use this setting [...]
