New PSLA 270 from 3D Systems Combines Projection Technology Speed with SLA Quality

Until now, there has been no solution in the additive manufacturing market that meets the requirements of high productivity, injection molded quality high resolution, long-lasting durability and part size. In response to this demand, 3D Systems has unveiled a new resin 3D printer, the PSLA 270. The PSLA 270 will be previewed during RAPID + TCT in Los Angeles, California, so don’t hesitate to visit 3D Systems booth 2401 to see this new 3D printer with your own eyes!

As we know, nowadays, there are different 3D printing technologies that fall under the vat photopolymerization umbrella, including SLA, DLP and MSLA, among others. The main difference between the first two is in the manufacturing speed, as well as in the surface quality of the final parts. While stereolithography (SLA) offers high precision and quality using a laser, we cannot deny that it is a slower process. On the other hand, projector-based raster printing technologies stand out for printing speed, although the results do not always achieve parity in quality. Now, 3D Systems has combined the best of both worlds in its new PSLA 270, a solution that offers the quality and first-article reliability of SLA technology with the speed and scalability of raster-based projector printing

The machine combines the speed of projection with the quality of SLA

Features of the 3D Systems PSLA 270

Building on more than 35 years of 3D Systems’ experience in providing fully integrated additive manufacturing solutions, this system encompasses the entire production process, from software, hardware, printing, materials and post-processing to global support and professional application consulting. The technology of this new solution derives its name from the use of a projector as a light source in a process based on stereolithography (Projector-based SLA or PSLA).
