Productive and cost-effective digital manufacturing solutions for production environments
What Is Digital Light Processing Printing?
Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printing is a type of vat photopolymerisation 3D printing that uses light to cure liquid resin into solid layers.
How it works:
-
A build platform is positioned just above or below a vat of liquid photosensitive resin.
-
A digital projector shines an image of an entire layer onto the resin surface.
-
The exposed resin hardens instantly where the light hits it.
-
The build platform moves by one layer height.
-
The process repeats until the full object is created.
Manufacturing Redefined
3D Systems Figure 4 makes 3D production a reality—with increased productivity, durability, repeatability and lower total cost of operations (TCO). Figure 4 delivers productivity enabled through speed and automation with real world repeatable, accurate parts with demonstrated Six Sigma performance in a diverse range of robust, production-grade materials.
High Speed Direct Digital Production
