For most customers, we know that production with AM methods is still a cutting-edge transition, and we want you to be prepared with a full knowledge transfer before you connect 3D printing to your production operations. So what is co-location? Simply put, we run your machine in our facilities to prove-out of the processes for your parts. work alongside our skilled operators to learn how to be successful with AM2.Production equipment.

ETEC’s DLP systems can unleash a multitude of benefits, from lightweighting to part consolidation. But we know getting there is rarely as easy as ‘just press print’. Our AM2.Production team specializes in tailoring solutions to the unique production challenges found in a range of industries including automotive, footwear, healthcare, and energy. We support manufacturers from benchmarking services to work cell development that ensures their success with DLP 3D printing.

We’ve tailored a resin portfolio for the Xtreme 8K with differentiated photopolymers that serve the material requirements of end-use products. Targeting some of the best property sets available, these premium materials are available on the Xtreme 8K, the largest DLP build volume on the market. Read for an overview of the industry-leading materials available on the Xtreme 8K:

The Pro XL makes precision 3D printing of polymer resins available in a compact, affordable package. With premium features like a 385 nm wavelength that efficiently processes a variety of materials and a 5 mW/cm2 power source that cures resins faster with crisp details, the Pro XL is a scalable solution for ultra-high-resolution end-use parts available at less than half the price of competitive offerings.

Investing in DLP technology from ETEC increases the quality of education by allowing students the opportunity to gain invaluable hands-on experience directly producing the parts they design. As 3D printing continues to emerge as a key creative force and manufacturing technology, it is critical academic organizations include it in their curricula to inspire the next-generation of professionals and avoid leaving students at a disadvantage as they enter the workforce.

An increasing number of industries are working with additive manufacturing technologies to innovate and optimize. Download the brochure to learn how investing in 3D printing systems allows students to gain invaluable hands-on experience.

Learn how design teams use digital light processing (DLP) technology to 3D print prototypes with fast turnarounds and no tooling that enables more design iterations at lower costs and optimizes products while getting them to market faster.

Designed for top quality polymer 3D printing with a high ROI from reliable ETEC digital light processing (DLP) technology. The Pro XL can run lights-out, with little to no user intervention required. Easily scale from prototype to print parts at volume with the quality, surface finish, and tolerances needed for end-use applications.

The Xtreme 8K offers a can-do build volume of more than 66 liters paired with two proprietary, high-intensity light engines that cure a complete print layer with a single flash of UV light. This powerful package enables production-grade printing for diverse and demanding jobs, from very large parts to lots of smaller components.

This 26 page comprehensive guide provides a technical overview of digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing, along with the latest on top-down printing and new types of photopolymer resins that deliver durable, elastomeric material properties, including closed-cell foams
