What are the technical principles of light-cured 3D printers, and what are the differences in their application technologies?
Today's light-cured 3D printers are still popular. After all, its application fields are also very close to our lives, such as handmade products, jewelry, dental molds and so on. We can see it in our daily life. There are three common photocurable 3D printers, namely SLA, DLP and LCD photocurable 3D printers. Today, the vertical cube will discuss its principle and the comparison between them.

First, SLA photocuring 3D printer

The forming principle of SLA is mainly to use ultraviolet light as light source, and then control it by vibrating mirror system, so that it can draw the shape of the object on the surface of liquid resin first, then drop the object to a certain distance, and then immerse the platform in liquid resin, and so on, forming entity printing.

Second, DLP photocuring 3D printer

The basic principle of DLP molding is that the model is cut horizontally into layers by 3D printing software, and then the shape of the first layer model of resin is projected, and then the three-dimensional mask aligner, the first layer model, will slightly increase objects, and project the shape of the next layer model onto the resin, and so on, and print the model layer by layer.

Third, LCD light-cured 3D printer

In fact, the principles of LCD and DLP are basically similar, but the difference is that the light source of DLP is replaced by LCD. Based on the imaging principle of liquid crystal panels, the red, green and blue primary colors of the filter are used to filter out infrared rays and ultraviolet rays that are harmful to the liquid crystal panels, and the three liquid crystal panels are projected into three primary colors.

4. Comparison of three molding technologies

Molding speed: DLP & gtLCD & gt service level agreement

Printing accuracy: DLP & gtSLA & gtLCD & gt frequency-division multiplexing.

Print size range: SLA & gtDLP & gt LCD display

Material range: (DLP≈LCD) > service level agreement

Service life of main components: DLP≈SLA & gt;; liquid-crystal display

Machine price: SLA & gtDLP & gt LCD display.

Consumables price: SLA≈DLP≈LCD

By contrast, the situation is also clear at a glance. I believe everyone knows how to choose to buy a light-cured 3D printer in the future.
