Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) is a cutting-edge 3D printing technique tailored for producing end-use parts at a production level.
In DLS, a liquid polymer resin undergoes selective curing through digital light projection, akin to SLA. However, Carbon DLS employs a specialized oxygen-permeable membrane at the resin tank's base. This membrane facilitates the formation of an uncured resin "dead zone" beneath the curing interface.
This innovative feature allows for seamless, continuous printing and prevents resin adhesion to the build platform, streamlining part separation post-layering.
- Speed: Carbon DLS boasts swift print speeds, outpacing traditional SLA methods, courtesy of its Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology.
- Accuracy: Leveraging a digital light projection system ensures impeccable print resolution, enabling intricate details and smooth surface finishes.
- Material Properties: Carbon DLS technology ensures uniform isotropic strength across its proprietary resin spectrum. This enhances properties like strength, durability, flexibility, and biocompatibility, rendering them adaptable for diverse applications.
- Consistency/Repeatability: Consistency/Repeatability: The oxygen-permeable membrane and continuous printing process foster uniform layer-to-layer curing, mitigating the risk of warping or distortion.
- Production Capabilities:Carbon DLS finds extensive utility in both prototyping and end-use production scenarios, catering to a wide array of industries such as automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and consumer goods.
