the end user, ...

• working with 3D-CAD SW or SW generating 3D
  data ? single user / small work groups
• primarily working with small objects
  (?200x150x230 mm)
• working with filigree structured designs
• who needs more than visual models ? for
  functional tests
• ? secondary processes (investment casting)
• who wants a non expert RP-system
• who wants his personal RP-system

Realization of the Perfactory
Photosolidification layer by layer through mask
projection
Z-Positioning unit
Model at holding plate
Polymerisation-basement with Photopolymer
Transparent contact window
DLP-Projection system
9
Mask projection No hatching but texturing
Photopolymerisation through a contact window

•  Glas plate as polymerisation and reference
  surface
• no material leveling necessary and no coater /
  doctor blade required
• unsensitive against quakes/vibrations
• no oxygen inhibition in the polymerisation layer

• Short building times through mask projection of
  a sequence ofcomplete layers
• Exposure control at overhangs
