Kudo3D Titan1 3D Printer

Very intriguing to see that you'll be competing on the price point of the Makerbot and other FFF printers rather than with the Form 1. Though with DLP rather than laser scan, I can see it being realistic.

I have to wonder what made you guys choose a 7"x4"x9" build envelope? It seems a little awkward. Also why would vertical speed change with x-y resolution, a layer from the DLP projector should take the same amount of time to cure no matter what the image resolution is.

Feign,

Thank you for your excellent questions. The maximum XY build size is determined by the projected area. For 100 micron pixel size, 1920x1080 resolution represents 192mm x 108 mm which is about 7”x4”. As for the vertical build size, we pick a linear translation stage that travels longer than our competitors’ maximum build height. Curing time is the timei it takes for a liquid resin layer to receive enough photon dosage to cause solidification. When the projected area is larger, the intensity of the light is weaker and it will take a longer time to cure. Actually, curing time is linearly proportional to the projected area.

Thanks again,
Roberta
