Anycubic Photon Mono UV Resin Printer
[Issue 45] We put the Photon Mono resin printer and cure/wash station from Anycubic to the test to see if they are good value for money.
In summary, this type of 3D printing utilises an LCD and a very bright 405nm (near-ultraviolet) LED. The LCD illuminates its pixels where resin is not desired for a specific layer of the model.
The ultraviolet light passes through the non-illuminated pixels of the LCD and causes the resin pressed between the build platform and the thin layer of Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) plastic that sits above the LCD, to cure to the build platform.
The build platform then moves up, breaking the surface tension holding it to the FEP sheet, and repositions itself once again so that the model is slightly above the FEP sheet, allowing the process to be repeated.
This means, the only moving axis in this technology is the Z axis. This makes this style of printer much more affordable.
