Certainly! Our advanced 3D printers are designed to work seamlessly with an extensive variety of third-party resins, ensuring high performance and compatibility.
DLP printers offer impressive durability, with an optical machine lifespan of up to 20,000 hours. The use of a cold light source reduces sensitivity to temperature changes, ensuring excellent stability. DLP technology provides over 95% light uniformity and exceptional accuracy, while its high light intensity significantly shortens printing times.
LCD printers deliver high-resolution prints with fast curing times, making them ideal for detailed work. They use UV light for even exposure, are cost-effective, and have replaceable screens, offering a balance of quality and affordability for precise 3D printing.
The FEP film typically needs replacement after about 20 print cycles. For the LCD screen, replacement is generally recommended every three months under normal usage conditions.
Post-curing refers to the process of exposing a freshly 3D-printed item to additional light and heat treatment. This treatment enhances the polymerization process, ensuring that the resin or other material used in the printing fully cures, hardens, and attains its desired mechanical properties.
Post-curing is an essential step, especially when working with biocompatible materials, such as certain Dental Resins. This process is crucial to achieve the highest level of strength and durability in the final print.
Typically, the time required for resin prints to cure varies based on several aspects like the print’s dimensions, Resin type and curing machine light intensity. However, PioCreat’s advanced curing machine can efficiently solidify standard-sized dental resin models in just 1 to 5 minutes.
There are several reasons why UV resin can be tacky after curing. One possible cause is inadequate curing time. If the resin is not exposed to enough UV light or if the light source is not strong enough, the resin may not fully cure, resulting in a tacky surface. Another reason for stickiness is that the surface of the model is not clean.
For the majority of UV curing processes, the optimal wavelengths typically fall within 385nm and 405nm, with the 405nm wavelength being widely acknowledged as the conventional go-to option.
Brittleness: Over-cured UV resin can become excessively hard and brittle, which may cause it to crack or break easily. Discoloration: UV resin that is cured for too long may develop a yellow or brownish tint, which can affect the clarity and appearance of the finished product.
