SLA, DLP and LCD printing technology and resin compatibility

3D printing was discovered over 30 years ago by the pioneer of 3D systems ^[1] . This first 3D printer was called a stereolithography machine and used a laser to cure a photosensitive resin. In the years following the discovery, other companies such as EnvisionTEC ^[2] came up with new methods for curing photoactive resin using a projector instead of a laser. In recent years, companies such as Wanhao ^[3] and Anycubic ^[4] made resin-based 3D printing accessible to everyone through the introduction of cheaper LCD-based 3D printers.

In recent years, many companies have developed their own 3D printing technique and named it differently, although it is based on one of the three techniques listed below. Image source: Formlabs site. ^[5]

The Laser SLA is based on an original invention used by companies such as 3D Systems, Formlabs, UnionTech. ^[6] and Peopoly Moai ^[7] . The laser is used to selectively cure the resin by scanning the surface. The resin cures and becomes hard plastic where the laser hits the resin.

DLP-SLA is a method that uses a projector to selectively cure the resin. This is generally a faster printing method than laser SLA due to the fact that the projector can expose the entire layer at once when the laser has to scan to cure the resin. Several single LEDs are located in the center of the DLP projector. The light from these LEDs is directed to the DMD chip, which creates the actual curing pattern. This 3D printing method is used by companies such as EnvitionTEC, Sprintray. ^[8] , Atum3D ^[9] , Rapidshape ^[10] , Miicraft[11] and Kudo3D[12]

basis of LCD displays. This method uses the available LCD screen to create the mask, eliminating the expensive DMD chips that are used in DLP methods. This method works by using an array of LEDs to illuminate the LCD. The LCD is used as a mask that creates a curing pattern. The liquid resin turns into a hard plastic where light hits the resin. Companies such as Wanhao, Anycubic, Sparkmaker ^[13] , Kudo3D, Creality ^[14] , XYZprint ^[15] , Phrozen ^[16] , and more.

What is the difference between SLA, DLP and LCD 3D printers?

There are many differences between the three main resin 3D printing methods. The table below shows the general differences.

One of the main disadvantages of the Laser SLA technique is its price for machines and consumables. This also applies to DLP-3D printers. DLP printers have another technical drawback to be aware of: (affordable) DMD chips are usually sized 1920 * 1080 pixels, which limits the print quality when the build area is enlarged. LCD printing is much cheaper compared to other methods. These machines are more affordable and consumables like FEP foil for your resin tray are cheaper.

What most users don't realize is that the LCD is also considered a consumable item that needs to be replaced from time to time. The build area depends on each machine, and it is technically easier to create a larger build area by putting a larger LCD in the machine.

Are all resins compatible with different printing methods?

Not all resins are compatible with various printing methods. It's important to read the datasheets of the resin manufacturers to see if it's compatible with your 3D printer. Laser 3D printers have a very powerful laser and will require a slower curing resin to ensure a stable printing process. Whereas LCD based 3D printers have a low power LED light source which works very well with fast curing resins. DLP 3D printers can be configured in many different ways, making it impossible to predict how a resin will behave when cured without testing.

Liqcreate resins are designed to work with most techniques. Liqcreate Strong-X, Clear Impact, Deep Blue, Stone Coal Black and Hazard Glow are designed for printing on laser and DLP machines and also work on LCD 3D printers when the exposure time is increased. While the Liqcreate Premium line is designed for fast printing on low power DLP and LCD printers. Read more about resins here:

Good day to all!

I'll probably start writing about building a new printer in order to establish some kind of starting point and give myself a light kick)

My first printer, which served me faithfully for about 5 years, needs to be improved for a long time. Rather, not in refinement, but in a complete rebuild. In fact, he will only be a donor of parts for the new printer. I will not disassemble it until the last part necessary to build a new device has been printed ...

Hello everyone! Actually, I started designing all kinds of direct extruders based on the BMG mechanism for Nema 14 motors, and the question arose of which motor is better to use. As you know, sellers with Ali cannot be trusted in principle, the rave reviews of the townsfolk who bought the mechanism also do not add clarity. Therefore, when I got a couple of different motors, I decided to order a few more and compare what they are capable of and which ones deserve more trust.

A fairly rich set of milled aluminum parts from the respected company FYSTEK is available.

However, buying such kits every time is obviously time consuming and rather expensive.

I don't want to print from regular ABS or ABS+ for two reasons:

1. When working for a long time at decent speeds, it happens like this:

And again, beloved RepRap

Smack everyone in this chat, oh, I'm in the wrong place. !

The post was created as an analysis of one particular case of the revered RepRap construction by all of us. Let's recall the thesis from the theory of reliability and diagnostics: the reliability of a system is determined by its weakest link

A few observations and experience using the printer. Of course, and a modification thereof.

As I already wrote, I bought the printer used, but in a fairly good condition, without mods and all sorts of tuning. Clean drain, as it was from the "factory". The first problems ...

During operation, the thermistor wire was interrupted, so the previous owner decided not to unravel the entire braid and throw it over the cable channel. At first I used a stock head, changing only the thermistor in the braid. Cher...

The previous part is HERE, in which I announced the "head" assembly without proprietary products.

I didn’t wait for CNC milling of the aluminum heat-shielding lining, for this reason it was cut-drilled-cut-finished_with a file manually from the lumel angle 20x40x1.5

Tool T0 was assembled, installed (minus 5 mm of the joint construction area, because the "head" turned out to be wider), bar feed was calibrated, Z-aligned relative to the second T1...

Greetings. It all started with the fact that I found an old Picaso Designer 2014 on Avito in my city. Literally 10 minutes on foot. Decided to look. I came, I saw and I fell in love. Direct extruder, closed thermal chamber, internal coil arrangement - it will be convenient to print with nylon. And most importantly - yellowish) I looked at the reviews, but did not delve into them much. Finally bought.

But my joy did not last long. As the owner of Ulti Steel, I really missed those features...
