Azul 3D’s Lake printer was developed to provide continuous printing over large areas with an array of materials, enabling manufacturers of industrial, consumer and automotive goods to easily convert to mass manufacturing on a single, streamlined production platform.
The printer is powered by Azul 3D’s high-area rapid printing (HARP) technology, which is the company’s version of stereolithographic printing that converts liquid plastic into solid objects using ultraviolet light. The company says the printer can prin complex geometries at rapid speeds, using materials suited for a range of products.
With a print area of 10″ × 12” × 24”, the printer’s interface dissipates heat, enabling continuous high-speed printing over large areas. The printer is powered by a custom, high-intensity LED light engine that enables users to address 16 million independent pixels without the need for “pixel shifting” used by other projectors.
The printer is also bolstered by Azul 3D’s chemistry group, which designs proprietary resins that are strong, durable, customizable and compatible with high throughput printing.
