The updated version of the microLCD 3D Printer that is perfect for testing small quantities of photocuring UV resin, quickly and easily.

This new version features:

-Monochromatic 4K LCD: 35um XY resolution, with up to 1/3 curing time compared to the PicoFAB

-Customizable Vat size and tray, from 25x25mm downto 15x15mm

The PicoFAB is the perfect tool for universities, research labs in the development of new materials, bioprinting, and for all those who wish to test small quantities of expensive resins (high performance resin, certified for dental use, castable resins) before to use them for printing on machines of normal dimensions.

FAQ

• Q: What is the XY resolution and printing volume?
• A: The current resolution is 35µm on XY, so 700×700 pixels on a 24x24mm area.
• Q: What is the intensity measured for each irradiation layer in mW/cm2?
• A: The current version is approx.  3mW / cm2. Custom versions can be made.
• Q: What are the limits of viscosity in which it is recommended to use on the printer?
• A: We have been able to use composites resins with success such as the Liqcreate Composite-X: https://3dsolutions.store/en/prodotto/liqcreate-composite-x-rigid-resin/ , and some Tethon resins.
• Q: What are the minimum and maximum layer thickness that it can be used?
• A: The standard setup is 25.4µm / 50.8µm per layer (Z resolution).
• Q: Does it exist a specific software (for free or not) to generate the .gcode files for the 3D printer?
• A: We provide free Chitubox profiles for the PicoFAB 

Examples of Composite-X sample parts printed on the PicoFAB 4K (28s curing time, 4 layers; 10-12s curing time). Liqcreate Composite-X is an extremely rigid and high performance reinforced nano-micro composite resin. This material has features like excellent chemical resistance, high strength and high stiffness.
