China-based manufacturer Masitte currently prepares the official launch of a 3D printer with the same name. Based on laser SLA, the 3D printer would provide the high resolution needed prints without ever failing or giving any issues to its user.
Masitte’s engineers ambition to create an affordable product that can be used on a daily basis for different purposes, from prototyping to production.
When it comes to the desktop option of laser stereolithography (sla) there is only one option to go for, why the laser SLA should not be more accessible? Compared with the other laser SLA option Masitte is lighter, quieter, and prints faster while matching the XY resolution for 25-micron print quality. Most importantly it helps users to save $1000+ for the printers $100+ for the resins per kilo, the company explains.
MSLA printers that require non-stop replacements for the LCD screens (ends up in landfills) do not always provide the same printing results on the sides and corners of the build plate. This is often due to the lack of light distribution, nonstop screen issues, or broken down pixels. All of these constraints often turn MSLA 3D printers into a nightmare for their users.
To address them, the engineers of Masitte have developed a machine that does not require any part for replacement. The 3D printer is made up of metal parts and integrates a laser that has 10.000+ hours of lifespan (min 2 years in very active usage). Early users have been using the printers for over a year, they did not change any part but FEP films, the company explains.
The 3D printer’s motion system components are housed inside of the main case. When Z-Axis is in the zero position (bottomed down) MASITTE can be %38 smaller than its Z-Axis top position.
A powerful laser system with 80-micron small laser spot size, precision galvo, and stable linear motion system enables accurate high detail prints.
“Unlike other Kickstarters, today we do not only have just one prototype but more than 10 real users that rely on Masitte 3D Printers day by day. Thanks to Covid we had a chance to wait for our users to experience our products for over a year which helped us a lot to see small issues and experience many different applications”, Founder Fatih Durmaz comments.
The campaign will be available on Kickstarter as from February.
