Single-Point Photometer - HeyGears

The single-point photometer for the UltraCraft A2D HD 3D printer, in the context of resin 3D printing, is a specialized tool that measures the intensity of UV light emitted by a 3D printer's light source. Its main function is to assess the uniformity and power of the UV light on the printing surface, which is crucial for properly calibrating resin exposure times.

🛠️ What is it used for?

Accurate exposure calibration is essential to achieve high-quality 3D prints. A single-point photometer allows you to:

• Measure UV light intensity: determines the power of the light emitted by the printer, which directly affects resin curing.
• Evaluate light uniformity: identifies areas with lower light intensity, which can cause uneven or failed prints.
• Adjust exposure times: with accurate data on light intensity, you can calibrate exposure times for each layer, optimizing print quality.
