The patent (US Patent No. 12,420,486 B2) is titled ‘Multi-Scale Systems for Projection Micro Stereolithography.’ BMF’s microArch D1025 is the first machine to leverage the dual-resolution concept.
Designed exclusively for the Stratasys Origin DLP platform, the partners say the material is a high-performance and general-purpose silicone that is suitable for the production of flexible parts.
The desktop stereolithography leader is introducing Color Resin V5, a first-of-its-kind material for customised colour formulations, and True Cast Resin for printing detailed casting patterns.
According to Manifest, Parallax VAM overcomes many persistent limitations of traditional AM and pairs well with existing high-throughput forming processes like injection moulding to open up new opportunities for production applications.
The 3D printing company says its updated Form Cure is able to post-cure parts printed in general purpose resins in 60 seconds - or under 15 minutes for engineering-grade resins.
