The advantages of the 3D printer Asiga MAX™ are obvious:
compact, quiet and fast: 2 hours in 100μm layers in vertical alignment using
the resin IMPRIMO
®
LC model.
easy z-alignment
validated process for the use of numerous materials.
SPS
®
: Smart positioning system for precise printing results.
For model printing with a 3D printer STL data is required.
With just a few clicks, the export module of the OnyxCeph3™
CA
®
SMART 3D software generates STL data and transfers it to
the 3D printer Asiga MAX™.
The printer software Asiga Composer positions the import-
ed model data on the build platform in the build space. Asiga
Composer is conceived as a nesting software for positioning data
and creating support structures to stabilize the objects. The print-
ing software does not process, i.e. repair or modify STL data.
Once the objects are finally aligned, the corresponding material
is selected, e.g. IMPRIMO
®
LC Model for models. The final step
before starting the print job is to determine the layer thickness.
Using the slicing function, the print object is sliced into layers and
the images for projecting are calculated.
The material parameters that are stored in the software ensure
that the resin polymerizes properly in the corresponding layer
thickness. Upon completion of the printing process, the objects
must be removed from the build platform, cleaned with isopropyl
and cured in a light oven. Curing requires a light oven having a
wavelength of 385 nm and using protective gas. Now the models
can be used for pressure moulding.
