Interview: Another Kickstarter round for the B9Creator

B9

Nearly a year ago, the 3D printing scene saw a few new printers based on a technology other than squirting plastic out of a nozzle. These printers used DLP projectors underneath a vat of UV curing resin to build objects one layer at a time with incredible resolution. Probably the most successful of these printers is the B9Creator from [Michael Joyce]. His original Kickstarter took in half a … [Read more...]

And so the deluge of resin-based 3D printers begins

It looks like 2012 is shaping up to be the year of the resin-based 3D printer. The latest comes from [Michael Joyce] and is called the B9Creator.  Like other resin printers, [Michael] used a DLP projector to cure the print one layer at a time. The layer height is on the order of 100 microns - crazy for a kit-based printer. There is a  Kickstarter for the B9Creator where kits are available … [Read more...]

3D printer with insane accuracy uses a DLP projector

After years of work, [Junior Veloso] is finally getting his 3D printer project out to the public. Unlike the Makerbots and repraps we usually see, [Junior]'s printer uses light-curing resin and a DLP projector to build objects with incredibly fine detail. One highlight of [Junior]'s project is the development of low-cost resins. Normally, light curing resins are extremely expensive, but … [Read more...]
