| Some factors to consider in determining the build resolution desired: A. The thinnest section in the X-Y directions throughout the part, generally wall thickness or surface features. B. The thinnest section in the Z direction. This includes the depth of engraved or raised lettering. C. Overall size of the part. D. The final appearance required for the part. With the Viper si2® machine, there are two factors for resolution: 1. The thickness of each layer or slice through the CAD model. 2. The diameter of the laser spot used to draw each layer. These two combined will determine the smallest feature or thinnest wall a given resolution will create. Click on a build resolution below for more information: |

This is a direct result of the amount of time it takes to build the part. Read More >> |
