Product DetailsOverview: The PSLA 270 is a high-resolution 3D printer that combines the speed and advantages of light projection technology with the repeatable, high-quality results of SLA. It is designed for real production, merging the best of SLA with the best of light projection.Main AdvantagesFast: Dual HD projector-based SLA technology offers curing times up to 5 times faster than laser technology.Precise: High-power 7-watt projectors deliver first-article success with 90µm pixel resolution, exceptional print quality, and repeatability.Versatile: Compact dimensions with a large build volume. Ideal for service bureaus and production applications.Ease of Use: User-friendly interface guides you through the end-to-end printing process to maximize uptime and productivity.Easy Installation: Fits through a standard door and can be installed in a few hours. Only a standard power outlet is required.Projection-Based SLA SystemThe PSLA 270 architecture combines the productivity of pixel-based projection technology with the dynamic, contactless precision of SLA. Its two high-resolution projectors offer unmatched pixel efficiency, far surpassing traditional laser systems.First Article Success and AccuracyNo contact and no gravity-based distortion. The result is remarkable accuracy, uniformity, and part quality regardless of geometry, with a fraction of the support structure required by other solutions.Compact size with a maximum build capacity of 242 x 265 x 300 mm (9.5 x 10.4 x 11.8 in).New Hardware ArchitectureVat Design: Removable vat precisely positioned on the frame references, simplifying material leveling and replacement.Recoater Design: Dual-rail recoating system further improves part quality at higher movement speeds. Precision attachment enables quick material changes.Clean Interior: Designed for frequent material changes, with stainless steel covers to minimize maintenance and cleaning time.Material Loading: Material can be poured manually or with an automatic refill pump for continuous printing without frequent manual intervention.Material Leveling: Displacement leveling system greatly improves leveling performance and reduces overall system complexity.Compatible MaterialsWorks with the Figure 4 range of engineering-grade and high-performance resins, producing parts with injection-molding-like quality and best-in-class uniformity.Choose from a growing range of rigid, tough, durable, thermoplastic-like, castable, heat-resistant, and biocompatible materials in a wide variety of colors and translucencies.Printed parts have long-term mechanical properties resistant to UV and humidity; up to 8 years for indoor use and up to 1.5 years for outdoor use (tested to ASTM D4329 and ASTM G194).Part QualityProduces parts with exceptional quality and precision, thanks to proprietary pixel fusion methods, precision projectors, and innovative hardware configuration.All materials, print processes, image processing software, and printer hardware are the result of over 15 years of pixel printing experience by 3D Systems, ensuring seamless integration.3D Systems' image processing software automatically adjusts pixel edges with grayscale scaling techniques, resulting in high-quality, high-performance plastic parts with best-in-class surface quality.Flexible ProductionCapable of delivering production-level results at batch scale, with first-time success and reliability guaranteed by vat-based SLA printing.Consistent and statistically significant repeatability across multiple printers, whether building large single parts or filling a platform with many small components.High-quality, resilient materials ensure long-term durability.Easy Material ChangeMaterial changes are easier than ever. The PSLA 270 features a mobile cart designed to accommodate vats of different sizes, adapting to the application.The vat system is designed to keep the elevator, displacer, and recoating system nested with the resin vat they are used with.The material distribution module (MDM) is integrated into the mobile cart, so nothing needs to be cleaned during material change. Simply swap carts, and all necessary components are provided.Precise vat positioning on the printer frame ensures the smoothest possible material change.Flexible DesignDoors and user interface can be flipped to position the UI on either side of the machine, allowing for the most efficient layout for space and workflow.The compact frame allows the printer to pass through a standard set of double doors, facilitating delivery and installation.ApplicationsDurable end-use plastic partsRapid functional prototyping and fast concept modelingSmall batch production of plastic partsMasks and fixturesRapid toolingTool insertsInvestment castingParts with high environmental stabilityMicrofluidicsMedical applications requiring biocompatibility and/or heat resistanceBenefitsHigh yield and same-day part productionFirst-article successHigh-resolution printer combining speed and material performance advantagesBridge between smaller projection systems and large-format SLASimple and fast material changeMedium-format build volumeRemovable vat mounted on the printer frameIndustrial-grade durabilityApplication flexibilityTechnical SpecificationsPrintable build volume (xyz): 242 x 265 x 300 mm (9.5 x 10.4 x 11.8 in)Compact printer for reduced footprintProjection-based SLA printing with two 7-watt HD projectorsDual-rail recoating systemManual or automatic refill pump material loadingHigh-performance materialsIndustry-leading 3D Sprint software for production and file preparationCloud connectivity for predictive and prompt maintenance via 3D ConnectKey Features / Technical SpecificationsPrintable build volume: 242 x 265 x 300 mm (9.5 x 10.4 x 11.8 in)Dual 7-watt HD projectorsDual-rail recoating systemManual or automatic material loadingRemovable vat systemIndustry-grade durabilityCloud connectivity for maintenanceCompatible with Figure 4 engineering resinsTouchscreen HD interfaceRemote monitoring via HD camera
