Mono1 DLP Printer

Mono1 is a light-driven printer that uses a 405 nm light to convert liquid resin into solid objects. Mono1 uses a projected light source (projector) to cure the entire layer at once.

Specifications:

  • Print technology: DLP
  • Projected image: 1280 x 800 px
  • Pixel resolution (XY): 25 – 25 µm
  • Excitation wavelength: 405 nm
  • Print speed: 25.4 mm/hour (varies with resin and layer thickness)
  • Z-precision (motor-driven): 25 µm
  • Max build volume: 96 X 56 X 130 mm (700 mL)
  • Slicer software: MonoWare
