I will not dwell separately on the 3D printer itself, but I will separately highlight the 3D printing technology used by this machine. The technology is called M.J.P.(in other MJM sources, although in fact they are the same thing).
Before describing the technology itself, I want to remember some people (I will not give their names). So at one time they told me that FDM technology is an outdated technology, it will soon become obsolete. That in the future, all printers will only print using SLA technology, because they print products with a better surface.
I want to clarify. Firstly, 3D printers print with a better surface not due to technology, but due to the layer height and the quality of the stacked layer, which I mean told in the relevant article... Secondly, 3D printers that print using SLA technology need raw materials, the production of which is several times more expensive than filament extrusion, and even more so granules.
Thirdly, on the basis of such, at first glance, a simple technology such as FDM, such high-precision technologies as MJP or Combining Mimaki technology (CMT)... The principle of operation is exactly the same as that of the twin-extruder FDM, with the clarification that a UV illumination lamp has been added, which exposes the photopolymer and wax.
Photopolymer and wax are squeezed out of thin nozzles and stacked in layers, like plastic in FDM. Immediately after installation, it is illuminated with a special lamp. The mechanics are even the most. Extruder, table, guides, only the material is in liquid form and is supplied from special tanks.
My opinion is the following, FDM technology (maybe not in number) will always be alive. Especially when you look at giants like Colossuswhere now even barno thread needed.
