CONGRATULATIONS
B
You have just purchased a new and innovative Direct UV-Light Printing (DUP) technology
based 3D printer. The direct UV method of printing uses LCD display panel as a matrix of
pixels that hardens the liquid in the resin vat with the light from the UV light source. UV-
LEDs at the bottom is used as background lighting.

Bulld Plate

Resin

Resin Vat

Light beam LCD Panel/


UV LED Display

This revolutionary system is a new way of printing that uses normal UV light as the energy
source to provide initiation of free radicals polymerization that is necessary to change the
liquid imagepac resin into your solid hardened object.

Working Principles of DUP 3D Printers


There are two amazing advantages of DUP technology:

1. High resolution can be achieved through affordable and accessible LCD screens.
These screens are the same as the widely available screens of mobile phones and
tablets, so phenomenal value for money is passed directly on to you.

2. Energy used by Duplicator 7 printer is an order of magnitude lower


than comparable systems. This is not only good news for your energy bills and
the environment, but also performance advantage due to avoiding unnecessary
creation of excess energy that leads to over-curing. The problem of over-curing
is common among Digital Light Projector (DLP) and laser systems.

AFTER SALES SUPPORT


86-571-23290996 support@wanhao3dprinter.com 25
Why generate a mask?
A nonuniform light output means you do not have the same UV intensity across the
entire LCD panel. Normally the center of the LCD is brighter than the edge area. The
difference  sometime  can be as high as 25%. If you are printing something fairly large, it
means either there is part of your print are over-cured or under-cured. Over-curing usually
cause lose of details and Under-curing usually will lead to printing failures.
With a mask image layer displayed on the LCD together with your printing images, the light
output can be close to 100% uniformed if the mask is properly made. However, a mask is
always recommended to ensure the best printing quality possible.

You can always Undo every time after any action
