How to parameterise and optimise a resin

Setting the printing parameters correctly is a complex process that requires several trials. Values such as exposure (both 1st layer and the rest), speed and delay time will have to be changed several times until the right ones are found. The use of calibration models will help in assessing the quality and accuracy of these parameters.

Maintenance and conservation of resins

Light, temperature, oxygen and humidity are elements that affect the correct preservation of resins. It is advisable to store it in the container supplied by the manufacturer when not in use, and at a temperature below 20ºC, is recommended. In the case of resins with a biocompatibility certificate, special recommendations should be followed.

Compatibility of resins. Importance of the light source

If we want to use a resin whose manufacturer differs from that of our printer, we must take into account 2 parameters: the wavelength for which it has been optimised (365 nm, 385 nm and 405 nm) and the technological compatibility (SLA and LED/DLP).

How to troubleshoot build platform adhesion issues

The good adhesion of the first layer to the printing base is crucial to a successful printing process. Many factors influence the adhesion quality, such as the type of coating chosen, the adhesion settings in the slicing software, and the temperature and condition of the printing base. Excessive adhesion and insufficient adhesion can be equally problematic.

Open and closed solutions in 3D printing

There are 3D printer manufacturers that offer closed systems limited to the company's own products while others follow a more open philosophy. However, not everything is black and white and the choice of one model or the other depends on the type of user and their needs.
