This 3D printer by 3 Idea is an all-metal printer with a sturdy build that uses moulding technology to print 3D structures. It has an easy to use interface in English and Chinese and sports a 3.5 inches screen with high resolution and a clear display.
It can print structures with great accuracy, thanks to the 2K micron level Solid-State display system that can achieve a precision of 0.02 to 0.05 mm to deliver a smooth finish. The UV light with a wavelength of 405 nm creates a matrix that ensures up to 90% of light evenness and a stable source for a higher printing success rate.
It features a larger printing volume of 119 x 65 x 160 mm so you can print and create bigger structures without any obstructions. Its unique air filtering system includes activated carbon and double fans which deodorize the odour from resin even when you are printing indoors.
The anti-aliasing technology used by the printer masks the image with a layer over a UV light source to get 4 times or 8 times precision by interpolating the edges and smoothening them, so you can get structures with proper finish and design.
