Yeah, I’m a pretty big 3D printer enthusiast. I’m surprised they shifted from lasers to LCD. I guess the laser and galvo setup was too expensive. Probably also easier and cheaper to ship new “Low Force Display” for people with formcare. End of the day, no matter what these vendors say, the crystals in LCD get damaged by UV light and would need to be replaced eventually.


It also opens up a whole bunch of material options. If you go to resin providers websites they have only a few resins for laser printers and tons and tons for lcd printers.
