@ vchmiele - We will definitely do a deeper dive into those issues in the near future. Surface smoothness has more to do with the resin, structure of the model and supports, and of course the resolution but not much with the software. Without correcting spherical aberration of the lens, there is not much meaning to normalize the output intensity from the projector. Even after normalization, the focal points still do not lie on a flat plane, and the image is blurred at the four corners. Normalization will also end up with longer exposure time. A high-end lens system that removes most of the aberration could be more expensive than the HD projector that Titan 1 uses. This is not the market we are targeting now. We also don’t recommend edge curing because we don’t see much performance improvement by trading off printing speed. However, if users need very high precision or accuracy, all of the software improvements plus high-end hardware are required (it would be more like a machine like Envisiontec with a $50,000 + price tag).
Thanks for the suggestions!
