Dip the Print - surface tension

[jjmouris]

Morning all, my first post here. Been in contact with Rylan a week or so ago. My intended application is very demanding in that I am after very accurate prints. Looking at making carbon fibre laminate parts strait off a print.

Was just wondering how much of the laser power is lost if it shines through water as supposed to air. Would it not be an idea to have a layer of normal water on top of the resin to help remove the surface tension? The water would put pressure on the resin and smooth it out? If the water does soak up some of the important rays, can we overcome this with slightly higher laser power?

For the Peachy Pro, would it be possible to adjust the laser power on the go? Then you could vary the focus and the laser power to print a thicker patch across the printing surface to save time and go down to a tiny spot round the edges to improve the finish?
