More and more companies are choosing Kickstarter to launch SLA and DLP printers, and the one we're presenting today is another example. SafFire is a modular SLA printer. This industrial-style printer uses a laser to cure resin, allowing you to engrave MDF , wood, and similarly hard materials.
SafFire, technical characteristics
SafFire is designed specifically for jewelers, dentists, and small-scale manufacturers . With this printer, you can obtain high-quality 3D prints at an affordable price. This printer can work with the most common resins on the market . Its innovative object immersion system eliminates the need to change the resin tank frequently. Therefore, we can say that the SafFire printer requires no maintenance.
SafFire Features:
Size: 155 x 155 x 225mm
Approximate weight: 5kg
Laser power: 75-750mW
Laser spot size: 75 microns
Engraving area: 127 x 127 x 76mm
Connectivity: USB
Power: 12V / 1.5A
Z resolution: 3.175 microns
Printing area: 120 x 80 x 80mm or 110 x 110 x 125mm
Resin volume: 900mL or 2500ml
Voxel size: 25 to 150 microns
SafFire is not standalone and must be connected to a PC throughout the entire printing process. The PC controls and performs all the necessary steps for printing.
Unlike other printers on the market, this machine uses a very small, rounded laser spot . This allows for printing large objects without losing definition and with a smooth finish.
The printing time varies depending on the object being printed, from 30 minutes for a small object printed at 100 microns to 3 hours if we print the same object at maximum resolution.
With less than a week left in the campaign, they've only raised 50% of the necessary funds . Hopefully, the project leader will find the motivation to relaunch the project later, because SafFire has a promising future.
