![]() “A DLP 3D printer system with this kind of chip, adding image correction optics and other components, is definitely going to be very expensive. For your reference, a WQXGA DMD chip (used for DLP projectors) alone would cost you over $3,500,” states the Uniz team on Kickstarter. “With a WQXGA (2560 x 1600, 339 ppi, 75 µm x-y axis) ultra-high resolution IPS LCD screen and ball-bearing screw (10 µm z axis), SLASH is capable of delivering industrial grade accuracy and details. ![]() “Before SLASH, speeds of 1,000 cc/hr were only achievable with large industrial machines that cost over $100,000–now it can be available in your home,” states the Uniz team on Kickstarter. ![]() High temperatures are dealt with expediently as large amounts of heat are ‘extracted,’ allowing for desired speed and printing of much larger objects. Better than FDM and better than most SLA in terms of speed, performance, and price, this particular resin-based innovation is able to work faster than any other desktop because of the LCD contact exposure method allowing liquid cooling to happen as close to the interface as possible. The SLASH very well may be a printer that changes users’ minds forever, allowing them to set aside the slower, less efficient methods of fabrication. Their original modest hope was to reach $50K by April 28, but it would seem they can start making some major plans at this point for manufacturing, with certain success in the bag. They have received over 400% in funding since launching the SLASH, already projected by many to be a true game changer. If those few tasty morsels don’t get your attention, check out the astounding success on Kickstarter so far for Uniz. Layers can be printed instantly due to the LCD light projector, and users can go big with their models. Let’s factor in extraordinary speed (perhaps the fastest ever at the desktop) with superior resolution at nearly half what one would expect to pay for this resin-based SLA machine using a new LCD masking technology. What is there to be excited about when it comes to the Uniz SLASH 3D printer? Well, nearly everything on the next generation level, as we’ve been reporting for a while now.
