5 Settings to Improve Your SLA/DLP/LCD 3D Print Quality

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. Download ChiTuBox:  https://www.chitubox.com/download.html Layer height (mm) As the name implies, layer height is the exact height of each cured layer. 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...

The Factors to Affect the Print Speed of A Resin(SLA/DLP/LCD) 3D Printer

There are different factors that can directly affect how fast a resin 3D printer can complete a 3D model. Choosing the right speed for your print is particularly beneficial to boost your print success and improve manufacturing efficiency. But controlling the print speed can be quite a challenge, especially if you are new to 3D printing. The first thing you have to know is the factors to affect the print speed of a resin(SLA/DLP/LCD) 3D printer. Print Technology The benefit that both DLP and LCD share, when compared to SLA, is print speed. The two technologies are typically able to produce parts faster. Because DLP/ LCD 3D printers flash a single image of each layer across the entire platform at once, while SLA flashs a single point. source: robotsinthesun.org source: 3ders.org DLP/ LCD 3D printers offer speed that often comes at a cost of precision. SLA, in turn, is more precise but relatively slow. 3D Printer The pre-fixed speed of the 3D printer is something w...
