Resin(SLA/DLP/LCD) 3D Printing

Adding support is always a headache when it comes to photo-curing SLA/DLP/LCD 3D printing. A lot of times, there will be problems about support structures appearing in the 3D printing process more or less. A typical situation is that parts of the support structured are missing or even broken. How to solve this situation? Improper Parameters Most of the time, the missing or broken support structures are caused by improper parameters, mainly related to those following parameters. Contact Depth of Top The deeper the contact depth, the deeper the support tip inserts into the model. We need to confirm that the contact depth is deep enough to win the tug of war between the build plate and the FEP film in the bottom of the vat. With luck, it may result in deformation or misrun in the joint part between 3D model and the broken supports. If you are unlucky, there is only the raft/bottom and support structures on the build plate while the model is not printed successfully at all. Also...

Photocuring (SLA/DLP/LCD) 3D printing is one of the most popular 3D printing technologies which can create prototypes with very high quality, fine features (thin walls, sharp corners, etc.) and complex geometric shapes. Although this technology has so many advantages, the 3D models may still be very rough if you are not familiar with slicing, printing skills, etc. In fact, the quality of 3D printing has a lot to do with the equipment, materials and slicer. We can improve the quality of 3D printing by just adjusting the following settings.

Layer thickness not only affects the speed (printing time), but aslo the quality of each print. The number of layers required to create an object determines the printing speed and thus the printing time required. The thinner the layer thickness, the longer it takes to make a 3D printed objec...
