3D printers with LCD printing

Printing on liquid crystal display (LCD)

— a method of creating three-dimensional objects by depositing layers of liquid resin and then curing it using ultraviolet light. 3D printers with LCD technology use liquid crystal displays to control the printing process. The printing material for them is liquid resin, which hardens when irradiated with UV light. A flat slice of the 3D model is displayed on the printer's LCD display, light is passed through the pixels on the screen and the liquid resin underneath hardens in accordance with this slice. By repeating the process of applying and curing the layers, the printer gradually creates a three-dimensional object. LCD technology is different from other 3D printing methods and is often faster. It produces parts with good accuracy and detail, making it attractive for printing prototypes, concept models, and functional parts. Another variant of the name of LCD technology is MSLA (Masked SLA LCD).
