SLA 3D printers

[Reify 3D]

In my experience, you are able to achieve a much higher level of detail with similarly priced DLP printers. It can be difficult for even the professional laser-based printers to match the affordable DLP printers. Below is a cufflink printed on our DLP printer at 25 microns XY (red print) and an almost identical cufflink printed on a $150,000+ laser-based printer that features a "Hi Res Mode" with a 75 micron beam diameter (purple print). The expensive laser-based printer had difficulty with some of the 100 micron borders and 125 micron spaces inside the outer braiding. This print is about 16mm in diameter.
