The MONO3MZ2 is a research-grade DLP (Digital Light Processing) 3D printer that focuses on high-resolution, multi-wavelength printing.

The MZ is the standard multi-wavelength workhorse of the Mono3 series. It is specifically designed for material science, allowing researchers to trigger different chemical reactions within the same print using various light wavelengths.

Core Capabilities

  • Multi-Wavelength Light Engine: The printer supports three versatile lighting configurations: dual-wavelength UV (365/405 nm) or hybrid UV-Visible modes, combining either 365 nm or 405 nm with RGB output.

Technical Specifications

  • XY Resolution: Variable between 30 µm and 70 µm.
  • Z-Precision: Highly precise motor-driven movement with 5 µm increments.
  • Build Volume: 134 x 76 x 125 mm (Total volume of 1.27 Liters).
  • Light Intensity: Generally ranges between 10 – 30 mW/cm².
