The MONO3VZ2 by MonoPrinter is a research-grade, high-intensity DLP (Digital Light Processing) 3D printer designed for extreme customization and advanced material science applications. Unlike consumer resin printers that use a single UV wavelength, the VZ series has two high power LEDs 365 nm and 460 nm that can be used sequentially.

Core Capabilities

• Multi-Wavelength System: This is the standout feature. It can be configured with up to 2 LED channels, allowing you to use different wavelengths (typically between 365nm (UV) and 460 nm (blue). This is critical for research involving dual-wavelength curing or complex chemical reactions.
• High Intensity: It is marketed as an “Extreme High Intensity” printer, providing significantly more power than standard machines to handle specialized or “slow” resins that require more energy to polymerize.
• Vat Photopolymerization: It uses DLP technology, meaning it projects a 2D image of each layer all at once, leading to faster build speeds compared to laser-based SLA printers.

Technical Specifications

• XY Resolution: Variable, typically ranging from 25 µm to 70 µm depending on the configuration.
• Z-Precision: Highly accurate motor-driven movement, with a resolution of 5 µm to 25 µm.
• Build Volume: Approximately 134 x 76 x 125 mm (1.27 liters).
• Connectivity: Equipped with USB and Wireless connectivity (powered by a Raspberry Pi).
• Software: Controlled via MonoWare, a proprietary slicer that allows for granular control over print recipes, shutter timing, and sensor monitoring.
