2.1
Functional Description
The D4K® printer builds 3D models by curing liquid photopolymers through a projector system.
During the build process, the model is built layer by layer. A mechanical system moves the build platform up so that the cured
material sticks to the build platform or to the previous layer.
Before starting the build process, certain calibration functions need to be carried out, which are performed at the factory.
The photopolymer is then directly poured into the material tray. The job is transferred to the printer through Envision One RP®
software or via USB drive. The build process can be started.
After the build process has finished, the built parts are removed from the build platform using a scalpel or scraper and treated
according to the corresponding cookbook.
