Central to the Liquid Crystal is the patent pending Daylight Polymer Printing Technology. By combining a high resolution LCD screen and our specially formulated polymer, designers, engineers and artists can now produce large volumes at a fraction of the cost of other 3D printers.

 

The Liquid Crystal HR is a high resolution medium format printer ideal for most general 3D printing applications. It uses our patent pending Daylight Polymer Printing Technology. Our wide range of polymers work effectively in the printer providing every possible property from elastic through to tough. It has a 196mm x 147mm x 250mm build volume, a built-in touch screen and Wi-Fi capability. Ideal for designers, engineers, dentists, jewellers and industrial prototypers. It can produce medium sized objects at a fraction of the cost of other 3D printers.

Liquid Crystal Display

Integral to the printer is the unmodified high-resolution LCD panel used to create parts. The 9.7” display offers a 2K resolution with an XY pixel size of 97 microns, giving accuracy and fine detail.

Solid and Strong Drive Unit

An upgraded, maintenance-free drive unit features in the Liquid Crystal HR. The unit enables increased accuracy over the height of the printer offering increased reliability to print both large, solid parts and small intricate details.

The Power of Printflow3D

Open source and easy to use, Printflow3D is our new software designed to make printing faster and easier. You can send over files, via Wi-Fi from your desktop or insert them directly into the printer, via USB. The integrated 7” touchscreen allows untethered and fast control of the printer.

Affordable Daylight Resins

Our latest daylight resins offer a range of hardness and flexibility, as well as colour, allowing much more versatility, giving you freedom and choice in application. All resin is water washable so there is no need for alcohol in post processing.

New & larger vat system

The redesigned vat is now easier to skin and is much longer lasting. The increased tension of the film allows for smaller back off distance whilst maintaining a good movement speed giving a more efficient movement of the platform.
