P3™ DLP 3D Printing

DLP 3D Printing Perfected – Repeatably accurate parts with injection-molding quality in a variety of high performance materials for end-use production parts.

What is Digital Light Processing 3D Printing? 

Digital Light Processing 3D printing uses a digital projector to cure photopolymer resins, resulting in repeatable high accurate parts with excellent resolution and consistent quality. DLP 3D printing has higher irradiance than LCD and similar resin, printing parts with better mechanical properties, using the same material and requiring fewer supports, even when printing overhangs, bridges, islands and large cross-sections (bulky parts). 

What is P3™ DLP 3D Printing? 

P3™ Programmable PhotoPolymerization, is an evolution of Digital Light Processing 3D printing. During the printing process light, temperature, pull forces and pneumatics are tightly controlled, resulting in repeatable injection-molding-like part quality and surface finish with high accuracy and tight tolerances. In combination with the broad range of performance materials, it enables functional prototyping and end-use applications across the widest range of geometries - from large bulky parts directly on the platform to the finest of features.

5 Benefits of P3™ DLP 3D Technology 

Enjoy the best that DLP additive manufacturing has to offer. 

  • Unparalleled accuracy, proven repeatability, tight tolerances, and superb smooth surface finish, thanks to the 385nm wavelength, to which resins respond better than 405nm.
  • Wide range of geometries, from large bulky parts directly on the platform to the finest of features.
  • Runs the most demanding high-performance materials, from high-temperature to elastomeric materials.
  • Open material system: choose from validated materials with preloaded optimized profiles or set your own parameters using Open AM™ License.
  • Patented pneumatic mechanism reduces separation forces achieving injection-molding surface smoothness at print speeds below 20 mm/hour.
