Resin over transparent window. Light engine projects patterns, polymerizing resin as platform rises continuously.
4K projector patterns each layer, delivering fine detail and smooth surfaces. Higher pixel density reduces visible layer lines.
Proprietary photopolymers optimized for rigidity, flexibility, or dental applications, tuned to DLS process.
