Resin DLP printers are often preferred over Polyjet printers for several reasons:
-
Speed: DLP printers are generally faster than Polyjet printers, especially when printing larger parts or multiple parts at once. This can significantly reduce the overall printing time.
-
Cost: Resin DLP printers are typically more affordable compared to Polyjet printers. This makes them a more cost-effective option, especially for small businesses or individuals on a budget.
-
Resolution: DLP printers can achieve high levels of detail and precision in the printed objects. The UV light projected by the DLP projector allows for precise shaping of each pixel, resulting in fine details and smooth surfaces.
-
Material Options: Resin DLP printers offer a wide range of resin materials to choose from, including different colors and properties. This allows for greater flexibility in selecting the most suitable material for specific applications.
-
Post-Processing: Both DLP and Polyjet printers require post-processing steps, such as cleaning and post-curing. However, DLP printers generally have simpler post-processing requirements compared to Polyjet printers, which can involve additional steps like removing support material.
It’s important to note that the choice between a resin DLP printer and a Polyjet printer ultimately depends on your specific needs and requirements. It’s recommended to consider factors such as budget, printing speed, resolution, material options, and post-processing requirements when making a decision.
