What are 3d LCD printers?

A 3d LCD printer is a type of 3d printer

A 3d printer has become a familiar concept, and there are more and more stable models on the market. At the start of the 3d printers you got a self-build package and you had a very unstable 3d printer. By now we are a few years further and there are many different, stable models for sale. The way in which it is printed can also be different: not only the plastic wire that is melted, but also the printing with synthetic resin is possible nowadays. The printing with synthetic resin is also called resin 3d printing, or perhaps more general: LCD printing. This way of printing works slightly different from the plastic wire: The 3d object is built by illuminating resin (artificial resin) with a light source, filtered by an LCD screen (hence, the term LCD printing is often used). With this way of printing you have a reservoir with the resin that becomes solid through lighting. The LCD screen filters out the light and thus determines the shape of the object. The Dutch FEPShop plunged into this market in early 2017 and has become a major player who can deliver all the necessities worldwide. Fepshop is not only a simple webshop, but a company that actually gives advice on the right use, the right software and tips to use the printer as best as possible. So when you are busy with 3d printing, check out the LCD printers webshop FEPshop. Read More
