In 2016, the manufacturer UNIZ3D made itself known by collecting the sum of half a million dollars on Kickstarter for a high-speed resin 3D printer named Slash. Their secret? Use an LCD rather than a laser, and use an optimised cooling system (called Cooling System) of the printing process, all for a selling price below the 5,000 € mark.
So more recently, the company launched their first upgrade of its 3D printer with Slash Plus. With an advertised print speed of 200mm/h, the Slash+ is the fastest 3D desktop resin printer on the market. On the performance side, the UNIZ3D printer has an XY resolution of 75 microns for a minimum layer thickness of 10 microns.

To weigh the price to performance, we had the pleasure of receiving the machine within the 3Dnatives Lab thanks to a loan from its French distributor Atome 3D. Find below a comprehensive test to find out how the Slash+ 3D printer really is. Is it really as fast as advertised? Has the speed of production been favoured at the expense of print quality? And more globally, can Slash+ compete with other desktop 3D SLA printers?
