EXTRACTED REQUEST: What type of 3d printer prints using uv and is the same speed no matter how many are on the plate

RECOVERED CONVERSATION EXCERPTS
USER MESSAGES:
1. What type of 3d printer prints using uv and is the same speed no matter how many are on the plate

ASSISTANT RESPONSES:
1. The type of printer you're describing is an MSLA (Masked Stereolithography) resin printer, sometimes simply called an LCD resin printer. Here's how it works: - A UV LED array shines upward through an LCD screen. - The LCD masks the UV light, exposing an entire layer of resin all at once. - Because the entire layer is cured simultaneously, the print time for each layer is essentially the same whether there is: - 1 part on the build plate - 10 parts - 100 small parts The only things that significantly affect print time are: - The height (Z-axis) of the tallest part - Layer height (0.05 mm vs. 0.02 mm, etc.) - Lift/retract settings So if you print: - One 2-inch-tall miniature - Twenty identical 2-inch-tall miniat…

EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO
- A UV LED array shines upward through an LCD screen.
- The LCD masks the UV light, exposing an entire layer of resin all at once.
- Because the entire layer is cured simultaneously, the print time for each layer is essentially the same whether there is:
- 1 part on the build plate
- 10 parts
- 100 small parts
- The height (Z-axis) of the tallest part
- Layer height (0.05 mm vs. 0.02 mm, etc.)
