Features
- Real-time image monitoring, autofocus, and exposure compensation
- Could be tailored to a high-resolution optical system and movement platform (with a resolution down to 2μm)
- The step-and-repeat process enables the achievement of both large-area and high resolution
- Regulated processing technology to generate highly accurate 3D-printed objects
- Operation software comes along with a custom parameter setting and microArch graphic interface system
The microArch 3D printing system can determine ultra-high resolution, large-area printing utilized in industrial prototyping and short-run production.
