P3 DLP Additive Technology

< Back to On-Demand 3D Printing

How does it work?

Programmable PhotoPolymerization P3, an evolution of Digital Light Processing (DLP), uses photoreactive chemistry to cure liquid polymer resin into hardened plastic while multiple sensors control temperature, light, and other conditions.

Benefits

High resolution and ultra-fine details

Accurate, reliable, and repeatable

Difficult and complicated geometries

Variety of high-performance materials

Smooth finish rivaling injection molding

Applications

Production Parts

Manufacture high-resolution parts quickly for medium to high volume production.

Realistic Prototypes

Design and print fully functional prototypes with high performance materials.

Tooling

Produce lightweight, consolidated, and customized parts for a wide variety of applications.

Technical Data

Layer Thickness 0.002 in

Accuracy/Tolerance ± 0.001 – 0.003 in

Max Single Size Part 7.5 x 4.25 x 14.5”

*Accuracy/tolerance may vary with part geometry, dimensions, and build orientation
*Numbers are based on published Stratasys data
