Printing speed of Inventure, Form 2 and Form 1+ ?

[Grum_l]

Hello!

I tried to find out the printing speed (in mm/s or mm³/s) of:

• Zortrax Inventure
• Form 2
• Form 1+

but couldn't find any information. Could anybody help me with that information, please?

and you will never find any information... They are not printing in the mm/s number like the FDM printers are based on movement speed.
Resin is cured by a laser, so for instance 1 chess piece may take 1 hour to print on my Form 2, however 16 pieces may only take 8 hours... the most time consuming part of the SLA printing process is peel, lift, re position.

The Zortrax Inventure is FDM-like (called LPD-Plus), as far as I know. So, it would be possible to get a mm/s value, or not? Maybe its similiar to the M200.?

The two SLA printers - yes thats clear that there is no mm/s number. I didn't wrote that well. But you could get a mm³/s number if you know the volume of the printed object (i.e. in mm³) and divide it by the printing time (i.e. in seconds). However, if the amount of time is reduced while printing more than one piece, hmm...

if you just type: 'formlabs form 2 or form 1 specifications' into a search engine you will quickly find all the information you want.
They usually give sla speed as cm per hour along the z axis.
Ie: it can print a height of 1-2 cm an hour depending on settings.
form 2 info:

As a general rule, the build speed is 1-3 cm/hour along the Z axis when printing at 100 microns.

This is difficult to compare to fdm as fdm cm per hour depends entirely on the model being printed.

Thank you for the info!

I will say, overall I think my SLA prints much faster (certainly when the part is bigger or multiple parts at the same time)
Also, because i have so fewer failures in SLA. i never have to restart, it just works (form2)
