Best 3D printer resolution
Hi,
I am a physicist and I would like to order a micro-structure surface so that I can study the physics of friction on it. The surface could be something as simple as a micro-stepped surface, the ones typically obtained when 3D printing layer by layer a tilted surface. But it is essential for me that the thickness of the steps are as thin as possible (preferably 20 um thick, 0.02 mm, and 10 um deep:rolleyes:).
As far as I know, the best resolution for 3D printers is 20um layer thickness and 12 micron XY resolution for the “Ultimaker 2”. This could print a fairly good 20 um thick and 40 um deep stepped surface. I have already ordered 50um-layer-thick samples (simple 2cm-high pyramids) but the XY resolution was not good enough.:mad:
Anyone knows a better technology (maybe resin-based), or thinks that can print this for me?:confused:
Thank you very much,
Trebor:cool:
