These forces are proportional to the cross-sectional area of each layer. For this reason, parts are oriented at an angle and the reduction of support is not a primary concern.On the left, a part oriented for a top-down SLA printer (minimizing support). On the right, a part oriented ...
SLAs don’t always align with business priorities. SLAs seldom seem to change or evolve at the same pace the business does. In fact, more often than not, they’re inherited. Someone set an SLA a decade ago, and today it’s honored simply because it’s there. There is little flexibility...
A model printed in resin on an SLA printer Removing a finished SLS 3D printed part This is by no means an exhaustive list, and you may also come across the following: DLP (direct light processing)– A resin-based process similar to SLA. Instead of a laser curing an individual point of ...
For use of an SLS 3D printer, almost all process parameters are preset by the machine manufacturer. The default layer height used is 100–120 microns. A key advantage of SLS 3D printing is that it needs no support structures. The unsintered powder provides the part with all the necessary...
MSLA is the abbreviation of Masked Stereo Lithography Apparatus. It is a 3D printing machine that is an advanced form of Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) in which resins are cured when exposed to ultraviolet lights. The MSLA printers carry out the 3D printing employing a huge UV light source ...
3D printing also referred to as Additive Manufacturing (AM) can help you create a design of an object using software and then the 3D printer creates the object by adding layer upon layer of material until the shape of the object is formed. ...
A 3D printer based on VATphotopolymerizationhas a container filled with photopolymer resin, which is hardened with an ultraviolet light source to create an object. The three most common forms of VAT polymerization are 1a) Stereolithography (SLA):Invented in 1984, SLA uses an ultraviolet laser to ...
Users aren't necessarily people. For example, a load test for printer software might send the application large amounts of data. A load test for a mail server might simulate thousands of concurrent users. Load testing is also a good way to uncover problems that exist only whe...
Using Color Kit, anyone can mix their own Color Resin and create uniformly colored 3D prints with the high resolution and smooth surface finish SLA technology is known for. If an engineer or designer needs a gradient, pattern, or some other color surface effect, SLA prints also take paint we...
3D printing using Fusion is as easy as it gets. Create a model within the Design workspace or open one of your existing designs. Switch to the Manufacture workspace and create an Additive setup. Choose your printer and print settings.
