Established over 20 years ago, the English manufacturer Photocentric initially began with a solution that streamlined the production of photopolymer stamps. They later shifted their focus to manufacturing 3D printers using LCD/mSLA technology and offering photopolymer materials. Additionally, they provide printing services for plastic parts.
Key Features of the Liquid Crystal Opus 3D Printer
The Liquid Crystal Opus 3D printer is an open-source device and comes pre-calibrated, ensuring it is ready for immediate use. It boasts an impressive printing volume of 310 x 174 x 220 mm and incorporates the patented “Vat-Lift” technology, effectively preventing parts from adhering to the print plate. Notably, this resin 3D printer exhibits a remarkable polymerization speed, with each layer curing in just 2 seconds for a layer thickness of 50 µm. In terms of resolution, the Liquid Crystal Opus achieves a precision of 95% or higher for layer thicknesses below 100 micrometers, and 70% for layer thicknesses below 50 micrometers. Its user-friendly interface includes a 7-inch touchscreen display. The printer finds practical applications in various sectors, including dental laboratories and engineering workshops.
