Gizmo3d - DIY
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2016 2:22 pm
Hi,
I believe this is the right board here but could easily fall under software as well. I have been interested in the Gizmo3d technology with top down continuous prints and I have not seen any discussion on the possibilities of doing this DIY. I understand that the speed increase is mainly for thin walled objects, but the discussion on higher speed printing seemed to be focused on bottom up approaches. One option for larger surface areas would be to have a moving slit to simulate thin walls however this is an untested theory. I have read the Autodesk Ember team testing that they were not able to get their printer to print reliably at those fast speeds, but GIZMO3d has so we know it is possible.
What we know:
They don't appear to use specialty gases.
They seem to use multiple light sources. (https://patents.google.com/patent/WO201 ... us+du+Toit)
also (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/ ... 620321155/) showing 2 projectors
What advantage is the 2nd projector? are these alternating slightly different images? is it just for increased light for faster curing?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
