The Asiga printer is more expensive than the FormLabs printer, but you pay for what you get. If you want me to print a sample for you just let me know and you can compare the quality from the Asiga to the FormLabs just for kicks and giggles.
If you are looking for a printer for just veneers you will want to find a printer with a high quality XY resolution. For instance the xy resolution on the formlabs 3d printer is 140 microns, so in turn the smallest feature size that the formlabs can print is 140 microns....your margins will not...
Its an interesting design, pretty simple. The peal mechanism/method is very similar to the Ember Printer from Autodesk. I am pretty sure their software is free to download, it may not be a bad idea to test drive that part.
ok, on further comparison maybe not 10x. most accurately is 255*252*200 vs 144*81*200 or roughly 12.9/2.35 or 5 and a half times the build plate size.
haha, i just noticed your correction. my fault for that.
Eden 260VS Build plate is 255x252x200 which takes up 64,260 square MM the Asiga Pro2 75 had a build area of 11,664 square MM. So the Eden 260VS's build plate is roughly 5.5 times the size of the Asiga- The Eden is larger! But for production comparison sake ( and kicks and giggles),I am able to...
The Pico2 - Base model starts at 6,990. and then goes up- to the Largest model the Pro2 75 which starts at 24990-144 × 81 × 200 mm
You can print a full plate of models at about 1hr 20 minues to 1hr 40 minutes. at 50 micron layers.
Whats the print time on the Eden?
I know our MP3500 takes...
Hey CoolHandLuke,
The base model starts at $6,990 USD and then goes up depending on the size of the build plate.
As for in comparison to formlabs, the Asiga printer has a higher resolution accuracy and a faster print time. The Asiga is Stereolithography DLP and formlabs is Stereolithography...
When Asiga started out they had a bit of a rough patch, but since then they have improved significantly! Here at Whip Mix, we have been testing DLP 3D printing for a little over two years now, and Asiga takes the cake. The build plates range from 51mmx32mm all the way up to 144x81mm depending on...
@rlhhds We are working on Printer that we will hopefully bring to market in the near future.
@CoolHandLuke unfortunately the Projet 1200 lacks the print capacity and material options for Surgical Guides :D.
3D printing your surgical guides would be your best option. I have been playing with a DLP 3D printer for the past year and i have been able to manufacture on average 10 surgical guides per print cycle (depending on height roughly 2 hours). The pest part, the material cost was roughly $2.00 per...
