Turning your ideas into real world objects is as simple as hitting “print” with the monoFab ARM-10 3D printer. With the advanced, precise and user-friendly ARM-10 rapid prototyping 3D printer, complex parts which previously required multi-axis milling, such as hollow or requiring undercuts, can be built quickly and easily.
The Magic of Stereolithography Technology
To see an object being created using stereolithography rapid prototyping 3D printing is a true technical marvel. The layered projection occurs in the following process:
- The image platform on the ARM-10 is lowered into the material tray containing imageCure photopolymer resin so that the surface of the platform is a single layer beneath the surface of the resin.
- An LED-based DLP projector beams UV light that cures a cross section of the model, solidifying the resin wherever the resin is exposed.
- Once a layer is complete, the platform ascends to a second layer of thickness, resin flows over the first layer, and the next layer is built until the process is complete. This allows multiple objects to be produced at the same time.
- Once the model is complete, the platform rises out of the material tray and the excess resin runs off the model back into the material tray.
- The machine operator can now remove the model from the platform, wash off excess resin, and place in daylight or other UV curing devices for a final curing.
- The model can be finished by removing the temporary supports and sanding or filling the remaining supports if necessary.
