Got some good news, developed a new optical head for photopolymer processing. Think I can circum vent the CLIP patent, see https://reprap.org/wiki/Transparent_Polygon_Scanning . A video of the scanner can be seen here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SofTXG5s_MA A link of details are here; https://h...

Hey Hughes, I have actually seen Joe de Simone present his company at Hello Tomorrow in Paris. I believe it is not wise to create a printer with Teflon AF and a DMD light engine. The main problem is that you are under patent. You wouldn't be able to sell your machine and most likely it is much more ...

Technology: laser scanner using a transparent polygon with a single bundle Company: Hexastorm Scan spot speed: 100 to 467 meters per second. Spot size: 60 micrometers Scientific Article: http://reprap.org/wiki/Transparent_polygon_scanner Abstract: The key invention is that Hexastorm is able to achi...

I can imagine the following difficulties with focussing below the surface; a Gaussian beam is in focus in a range known as the Rayleigh range; for a 20 micron spot, at 405 nm this is in the order of a couple of mm. so for to be out of focus on the surface you would have to focuss 1 cm below the surf...

What is interesting to note is that the speed of the carbon 3d printer is not uniform, you can see it clearly in video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTJq9Z5g4Jk .
It is much slower in the layers where it has to cure a lo of fluid which is in contact with each other.

I have thought about it for some time. If you put resin in contact with air and illuminate from the top with a beamer you should be able to study this deadzone effect which enables this CLIP technology. As it is in direct contact with air, you can also state that you are illuminating resin with a su...

Phife can you give a more detailed estimate based on your inquiry!? I am curious.
