Digital Light Processing (DLP) is an advanced additive manufacturing technology that uses a digital light projector to cure photopolymer resin layer by layer. This process enables the production of high-resolution parts with fine details, smooth surfaces, and excellent mechanical properties. DLP is widely used in industries requiring precision, such as medical, automotive, and consumer goods manufacturing.
The ABS-like resin for DLP technology is a photosensitive material designed to offer properties similar to traditional ABS. Characterized by high mechanical strength, rigidity, and good workability, it is ideal for producing functional prototypes, mechanical components, and parts for the automotive and electronics industries. The DLP process ensures high-resolution printing, with precise details and a smooth surface finish, guaranteeing excellent model reproduction.
Rubber-like DLP resin is a flexible photosensitive material designed to replicate rubber properties. It offers a combination of elasticity, impact resistance, and durability, making it ideal for gaskets, dampers, and flexible prototypes. The DLP process ensures finely detailed parts with smooth finishes that accurately reproduce rubber-like characteristics.
High Temp is a photosensitive resin characterized by high thermal resistance, meaning it can withstand high temperatures without undergoing permanent deformation. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring heat resistance, such as engine components, mold parts, and items exposed to high temperatures.The DLP process enables precise, durable, heat-resistant parts with a smooth finish.
Medical DLP resin is a photosensitive material specifically engineered for medical applications. This biocompatible resin ensures high-resolution printing of medical device prototypes, prosthetics, and other customized healthcare components. The DLP process guarantees compliance with medical standards and produces high-quality parts for the healthcare industry.

Post-processing (support removal, curing)
DLP 3D printed parts typically exhibit excellent surface quality and high detail accuracy. Depending on the material used, they can range from rigid and strong to flexible and impact-resistant.
DLP parts typically achieve dimensional tolerances of ±0.30 mm for features under 100mm and ±0.3% for larger parts. The accuracy varies depending on material, part geometry, and post-processing.
DLP provides great design flexibility, but key considerations include:SLA offers significant design freedom, but there are still some constraints to consider:
- Minimum Feature Size: Typically 1 mm to ensure durability.
- Fine Features: Can achieve details as fine as 0.5 mm, making it ideal for intricate designs.- Supports: Required for overhangs and complex geometries to print the parts which needs to be removed after printing.
- Surface Finish: Parts have a smooth surface but may require additional coating or polishing for enhanced aesthetics.
- Support material: parts are connected to the construction platform requiring support material which needs to be removed after the printing
