Get ready for a new era of 3D printing.
Programmable PhotoPolymerization P3™ technology, an evolution of digital light processing (DLP) is ushering in a new era in 3D printing: the mass production of functional end-use parts.
P3 software precisely orchestrates light, temperature, pull forces and pneumatics to optimize prints for the best possible results. With P3, manufacturers can achieve injection molding part quality and surface finish with incredible accuracy, in a diverse and continuously growing range of high-performance materials.
What makes P3 unique?
P3 is a combination of several tightly controlled, programmable steps in the printing process. P3 extends DLP printing’s capabilities and supports the next generation of production applications made with photopolymers. This powerful combination of production-grade technology and performance materials unlocks functional end-use applications in 3D printing with competitive throughput and part cost.
How it works:
Four critical parts of the P3 process enable the unique combination of high throughput, production-grade part quality and materials.
- Light: Programmable light sets off an exothermic reaction that forms layers with outstanding resolution, accuracy and dosage control.
- Environmental stability: Temperature-controlled printing mitigates warping and shrinkage, while unlocking materials with advanced properties, like flame retardancy.
- Pneumatic separation: A perfectly timed separation procedure reduces pull forces, leading to a molded-like surface finish, high-throughput and ultra-fine features, such as textures or large surface areas like molds.
- Motion: Precise control over printer movements ensures a repeatable, fast and accurate workflow in a wide range of geometries and high-performance materials.
- Green Strength: The P3 process produces a high polymerization conversion, unlocking faster print times, extreme geometries, and build nesting.
Stereolithography is an additive manufacturing process that uses a vat of liquid UV-curable photopolymer resin and a UV laser to build parts one layer at a time.
Benefits of stereolithography include:
- Parts with smooth sidewall quality and detail
- Low-volume part production of complex geometries
- Tight tolerances, layer thickness of between 50 to 200 microns
- Versatile range of materials for specific applications
Stereolithography is commonly used as a prototyping technology within industries that need to print parts or models to validate fit form and function or for concept visualization. Stereolithography is also used in manufacturing applications for short-run part production, such as vacuum castings, injection mold tooling, investment casting master patterns, and functional end-use part production for certain environments.
Due to its competitive build times and the superior quality of the finish straight off the machine, very little post-processing is required, providing cost savings and reduced lead times.
SAF™ Selective Absorption Fusion™
Boost your manufacturing capability with powder bed fusion 3D printing.
SAF technology is the power behind the H Series™ Production Platform, designed for production-level throughput of end-use parts.
The SAF-powered H350™ 3D printer provides you with control over your production and costs. Grow your business through volume production with consistent end-use functional parts.
What is SAF?
SAF is the industrial-grade technology that powers the powder-based additive manufacturing process, leading to higher end-use parts production levels. SAF is the latest 3D printing technology behind the H Series Production Platform that enables control over the printing process to achieve accurate, consistent production at competitive part costs.
How SAF technology works:
SAF is the technology behind the H350’s powder bed fusion 3D printing process. SAF uses HAF™ infrared absorption fluid to fuse polymer powder particles in layers to build parts. It also utilizes Big Wave™ powder management, a proprietary technology that provides reliable powder distribution across the build, where industrial-grade piezo-electric print heads jet the HAF fluid in prescribed areas to create each part cross-section. This is followed by exposure to infrared energy, which causes the areas with HAF to melt and fuse. The sequence is repeated until the parts are completed.
Typical Applications
Industrial-grade technology
Industrial Piezo-electric print heads and innovative powder management designed for durability and high uptime.
Production throughput
One-pass print-and fuse, few consumable replacements for minimal downtime, and high nesting densities to meet production demands.
End-use production parts
Real-time powder heating, unique thermal management, and broad powder range for a wide spectrum of part properties.
