The new method of 3D printing is 25-100 times faster than the traditional one. Russian version
Hello.
My name is Sergey and I'm a little fond of 3D printers.
You, probably, as a person addicted, have heard about the technologists of continuous printing CLIP . For its implementation requires oxygen, a special membrane and a special photopolymer, according to the developer . I want to show you a dumb other method for which the presence of oxygen and other magic is not so important. For this we need:
UV laser pointer;
wooden stick;
bath made of any transparent material. A film is applied to the bottom of the bath;
polymer
About how it works, I made a short video. ')
This method is excellent, as it seems to me, suitable for printers that light up the layer immediately, at one time, i.e. for DLP 3D printers.
PS We should have recorded such a video before. Invented this thing and tried about 4 months ago.
Added due to misunderstanding:
In the video from CLIP you saw the montage of the shot video (at least the speed was changed). I shot live. From the video, it is clear that my speed is higher. So you at least saw the speed. It differs from the DLP printer in that after the layer is exposed to light, it is necessary to tear off the illuminated layer from the bottom, raise it to a certain distance and lower it.
In my method, excess lifting is not required, as in CLIP.
Instead of a laser pointer and manual exposure, you can use a DLP projector and automated platform lifting.
Do you still have questions? I will answer with pleasure.
