TIDA-00293

Best-in-class Combination Stereolithography 3D Printer Development Using DLP® Technology

TIDA-00293

Design files

Overview

This DLP® 3D printer reference design employs our DLP 3D structured light software sevelopment kit (SDK) and enables you to build best-in-class resolution 3D objects. The highly-differentiated DLP technology uses stereo-lithography technique popular in high-accuracy and high-speed 3D printing. This reference design features the DLP LightCrafter™ 4500 evaluation module (EVM), showcasing the DLP 0.45” WXGA chipset to accurately expose object layers. The design also uses our low-power MSP430 embedded processor to synchronize layer exposure with motor control for precise incremental 3D builds.

Features

Integrated motor drive routine
Adaptive GUI for customizing layer sequences
Modular system design to port to other DLP chipsets
