Benefits

High accuracy and resolution for precision 3D printing

Accuracy is always critical. And D4K delivers a native resolution as low as 25µm in the X and Y axes to easily produce parts with incredibly fine features suitable for a wide range of applications such as jewelry or wearable electronics.

Affordable industrial-grade 3D printing

Designers and engineers can take full advantage of additive manufacturing as they no longer need to make compromises when it comes to print quality, speed and even space as the D4K is desktop size. 

The material needed to make it happen 

From castable waxes to ultra-high resolution rigid polymers, and FDA-cleared medical materials, the D4K has the wide material selection needed to get the job done. Thanks to the D4K’s industrial DLP chip and high-powered 385 nm light source, this machine is capable of efficiently printing materials from ultra-high resolution hard plastics, to FDA-cleared dental materials, to castable waxes for jewelry.

Any uncured resin can be easily stored and reused for months, thus allowing you to save costs.

 

 

Fewer photoinitiators. Clear means clear.  

D4K is engineered to 3D print incredibly clear materials due to a 385-nm wavelength light source. While all UV curable resins require the addition of photoinitiators, those that are cured with 385 nm wavelength light require significantly less.
Since photoinitiators are yellow, adding more would turn parts to have a yellow tint.

ETEC - D4K Clear material

Rapid prototyping that’s rapid.

With the ETEC D4K and the speed of the DLP 3D printing process, you can rapidly prototype parts in the finest details possible. If your prototypes are manufacturable, then less iteration is needed. You can avoid changes or delays in the fabrication process, delivering the products to your customer much faster.
