    Resin 3D Printers

    Print parts with more precision and minute detail than filament printers. These printers harden photosensitive resin into specific shapes by shining light through a high-resolution LCD screen. Unlike filament printers that can only move as fast as their head, resin printers cure the entire printing surface layer by layer. This makes them a great choice for printing multiple parts without adding time to your build. Since the layer heights are so small, your parts will come out smooth and exact, even around the edges and curves.
    After printing, remove the excess resin off your parts with nitrile gloves and scraping tools or with an automated parts washer. Then place them in an ultraviolet curing chamber.

    Printer with Parts Washer and Curing

    Chamber

    Formlabs printers make parts faster and with better bonds between layers than other printers, including Phrozen printers. As they print, the layers lift off smoothly and quickly, without getting stuck and shifting around. That’s thanks to the textured light source and flexible resin tank base.
    A great choice for beginners, these printers have a step-by-step guide on the control panel.
    Use these printers with Formlabs resins.
    The built-in camera and sensors mean you can monitor prints from your PC.
    Quick-Release Build Platform, Parts Washer, Curing Chamber, and 1-Year Professional Service Plan—Printers with a parts washer, curing chamber, and service plan give you everything you need to create a finished part. After printing, remove the build platform and slot it into the parts washer to remove excess resin. Then separate your parts and cure them in the chamber. The service plan gives you access to training, technical support, quick shipments of replacement components, and more.
    Finish Kit—To clean excess resin off your parts and remove them from the build platform, you can use the included finish kit.
    Software—The free software will automatically suggest positions for your model that minimize the number of supports it will need, saving resin and ensuring easy removal.

    Phrozen printers are the best choice for larger parts thanks to their larger build platform. After printing, an automatic pump sucks the resin out of the tank for easy cleanup.
    Resin Tank Composite Film—These printers come with a composite resin tank film that’s semi-clear, letting light pass through for a good cure. The film’s matte finish releases layers easily and quickly.

    Filament 3D Printers

    Melt and extrude plastic filaments to build quick and inexpensive prototypes, custom and complex parts, and manufacturing aids such as jigs and fixtures. These 3D printers are also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers. They meet U.S. and international standards for safety.

    These printers use PLA, which is good for creating prototypes. PLA prints at a low temperature, so it rarely clogs extruders. Because it’s so low maintenance, it’s the most common material for 3D printing. MakerBot printers are compatible only with MakerBot-brand filaments.
    These printers have a camera that connects to the internet, so you can stream live video of the printing process to monitor it remotely. They have heated printer beds to prevent parts from warping during cooling.

    Stepper Servomotors

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Servomotors. Stepper Servomotors.
    Combine the high torque at low speeds that traditional stepper motors are known for with the greater torque performance and positioning reliability of a servomotor. They create rotary motion based on signals from a drive (sold separately). As these servomotors move, their encoder relays the shaft’s distance, direction, and speed back to the drive. The drive increases your system’s efficiency by taking the electrical signal from the encoder and dynamically adapting the motor’s movements, also accounting for inconsistent loads and unexpected forces.
    Maximum Holding Torque—Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. Torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the curve for a motor.

    Stepper Motors with Integrated Motion Control

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stepper Motors. Stepper Motors with Integrated Motion Control.
    With a built-in controller and drive, these stepper motors come ready to program and operate. Connect them to a computer and use the free downloadable software to set them up. After that, the controller can store and run programs on its own. The controller communicates to the drive which directs the motor’s shaft to move in small, equal increments. When the shaft stops, it holds its position even when a counteracting force is applied to the load. All are bipolar hybrid stepper motors, which deliver greater torque, precision, and efficiency than other types of stepper motors.
    Encoders—When relative positioning is critical, such as coordinating motion in a multi-axis system, choose a motor with an encoder. The encoder monitors the position of the shaft and reports back to the controller.
    Maximum Holding Torque—Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. When the shaft is in motion, torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select “Product Detail” to view the curve for a motor.
    Full Step Increment—Full step increment is the rotation of the shaft from one position to the next. A smaller full step increment means the rotor has more teeth, producing smoother and more precise motion. 1.8° is considered standard.
    Step Resolution—You can adjust the step resolution down to 1/256 of a full step, which translates to 51,200 microsteps per revolution. Increasing the number of steps directs an even more precise position and reduces the step-step-step motion to mimic a smooth, continuous rotation. The higher the number of step resolution settings, the greater the flexibility you have for determining the size of the motor’s step.
