Proof of Concept: Large-format resin 3D printing
MSLA technology has made resin-based 3D printing very cost-effective. Unfortunately, this technology cannot be scaled indefinitely, which is why these devices only have relatively small print volumes. Our proof of concept replaces FEP film with a liquid, thus enabling large print volumes.

MSLA 3D printers are limited in size. The initial idea was to replace the FEP film with a liquid.
Proof of concept to check if a 3D printer can work with a release fluid instead of a film.

The findings of this proof of concept (POC) were published under an open-source license, thus allowing the joint further development of the technology and effectively preventing restrictive patents.
