Additive manufacturing: Start-up of a 3D printing workshop.

After designing our 3D printer models for SLA additive manufacturing we realized the first two models, one with LED + DLP® light source and one with laser source. These first two units were made for a Chinese company and shipped to their Shenzhen facility.



After the two printers arrived in China, we installed them in the company's facilities, carrying out functional testing and starting the training of local engineers and technicians who operate the workshop.

The printers installed.

Two machines for additive manufacturing with stereolithographic (SLA) technology have been installed.

The first one uses an LED light source and through a DLP® projector designs 2D images, obtained by slicing the 3D model, onto the bottom of a vat containing resin and solidifies it in illuminated areas. Using Texas Instrument's DLP® system, the printer is able to solidify at each exposure (a few seconds of duration) the entire resin layer allowing a high printing speed and is able to produce small parts with high resolution.

The second one uses a laser source whose beam, through an optical system composed of a galvanometer scanner head and a field lens, draws the 2D profiles obtained by slicing the 3D model on the resin free surface.
The use of the laser allows to produce large parts with medium-high resolution.
