MadeSolid testet SLA 3D-Drucker von Autodesk

MadeSolid, der Hersteller von hochwertigen Resins für SLA 3D-Drucker bekommt so manche 3D-Drucker von Herstellern zum Testen. 

Der aktuelle Test 3D-Drucker ist von dem Software Hersteller AutoDesk. Schon seit längerem ist bekannt das der Software Gigant an einem 3D-Drucker arbeitet um den Verkauf der Software anzukurbeln. Zumindest lauten so die Gerüchte.

MadeSolid schreibt in einem Blog Eintrag über die Leistung des getesteten 3D-Druckers. Der AutoDesk Spark überschreitet alle Erwartungen des Materialspezialisten. Die Ergebnisse des Test sind weiter unten abgebildet.

1) Speed

The peel process is swift. The light source is powerful and monochromatic. This makes for a very quick print speed. The entire peel process plus the cure time with our Black MS Resin is 5 seconds flat for a 0.1mm layer. That makes for a very fast build rate 72mm an hour. And because it’s projector based (DLP) the cure time won’t change for bigger prints.

2) High Resolution

Resolution is 50um in the xy and we’ve tested the z resolution to 20um, which means the Autodesk printer is comparable, in terms of resolution, to some of the best SLA printers out there and beats a lot of the rest. Check out the detailed photos below.

3) Maker Friendly

The Autodesk printer is a machine built to be hacked and is friendly towards makers. This printer isn’t locked in to any particular material settings or cartridge system. Additionally it is much easier to develop algorithms with pixel by pixel and layer by layer control. All we can say, it’s about time! All in all it has been very easy to use all our resins and to create high detail profiles. This is a positive trend that will bring much needed innovation into the 3D printing materials world.
