1/ Overview
Pilot SD
A New Dimension in Stereolithography 3D Printing
- Cost-effective ownership throughout entire life cycle.
- Freedom to collaborate and innovate: open design for materials and machine access.
- Printed parts demonstrate excellent sidewall quality and fine detail, contributing to lower post-finishing requirements.
System Features
- Scanning speed of up to 12 m/s.
- Closed loop control regulates platform movement, laser power, resin level, resin temperature, and vacuum pressure to ensure accuracy and stability.
- Automatic control of surface level and processing parameters.
- Granite recoater rim for enhanced stability.
- Layer Thickness as low as 0.002 in (0.05 mm) for excellent surface quality.
- Ethernet Connectivity.
- Plunger-style leveling.
- Pump-fed auto refill capability.
- Components from top international brands – Spectra-Physics, SCANLAB, and Panasonic.
- Full freedom of choice in materials: equipment uses any 355 nm SL material.
- Three level of access (Operator, Engineer, Expert) controlled by user.
Versatile Application Range – High Accuracy – Excellent Surface Aesthetics
