BUILDER PROCESS
by Z-Corp

b -1. Principle
This process uses photopolymer resins that are cured in full layers using a DLP type UV-controlled
projector. These projectors are computer-controlled and illuminate only the areas to be cured. The work
is faster than for stereolithography machines thanks to very sensitive resins.

• Accuracy is about 0.2 mm on the XY plane.
• The process works with only 1 material
• homogeneous parts in mechanical quality
• the production time is independent of the number of parts in the bin
• Very smooth final surface finish.

b -2. Applications

The size of the parts that


can be produced is included
