Raise3D, the flexible manufacturing solutions provider, is proudly unveiling the DF2 Solution today at Formnext. It’s a new milestone in their expansive portfolio of professional and industrial 3D printing, marking their debut in photopolymer resin 3D printing. The DF2 Solution, based on Digital Light Printing (DLP) technology, boasts rapid printing speeds, refined surfaces, high precision, and remarkable reliability. It has been meticulously crafted for engineering prototyping, manufacturing aids, and low-volume production with a diverse selection of high-grade resins. The DF2 Solution features a traceable workflow to reduce labor time and optimize the use of resin 3D printing in production.
The DF2 Solution offered by Raise3D integrates several components to deliver a complete 3D printing workflow:
• Raise3D DF2 3D Printer: A DLP printer for producing low-volume high-resolution, smooth and repeatable parts, thanks to its precise and reliable Z-Axis lifting system, efficient material management, heated chamber, high quality optical system, advanced Anti-Aliasing technology and Air-Peel technology for fast and easy layer detachment.
• Raise3D DF Wash: An automated cleaning solution with efficient process control, and ease of maintenance. It boasts robust cleaning capabilities via twin-turbine washing and hand washing simulation, and a double-fan air drying system. It accommodates various cleaning agents like alcohol, IPA, TPM, and water.
• Raise3D DF Cure: An advanced curing station equipped with multiple UV curing and heating profiles. It utilizes dual curing sources across multiple wavelengths (365/385/405 nm).
• Raise3D Resins: A selection of resins tailored for various applications, with more options to be released soon:
- Standard Resin: this resin is user-friendly with a matte finish, currently available in white, with additional colors in development. It is ideal for prototyping and crafting detailed models due to its excellent printability.
- Tough 2K Resin: Known for its durability and impact resistance, this resin offers strength and rigidity similar to that of ABS, making it the optimal choice for load-bearing components such as jigs, fixtures, and housings.
- High Detail Resin: With a matte finish ready for direct painting and plating, this resin captures ultra-fine details and offers high resolution. It is designed for prototypes that require ultra-high resolution and for complex models and intricate art pieces. It is currently available in apricot and will soon be offered in a transparent variant.
- Rigid 3K Resin: Reflecting the stiffness of glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, this resin provides high rigidity along with superior thermal and chemical resistance and it’s ideal for printing thin wall parts.
• ideaMaker Slicing Software: Adapted for the DF2 Solution, this software simplifies the DLP printing process. Features offered include antialiasing, auto support, contour compensation, suction cup detection, texture generation, and a reduced Gcode size, among others.
