3D Next Level, a Netherlands-based large format 3D printing specialist, has purchased Photocentric’s Liquid Crystal Titan 3D printer, one of the largest LCD 3D printers in the world. Titan enables the printing of very large, high-resolution parts rapidly and cost-effectively.
3D Next Level will reportedly use Titan to create large prop parts for film and television productions, replicas for museums and exhibitions, and outdoor sculptures and street furniture. The system will also be a valuable addition to 3D Next Level’s extensive industrial manufacturing line – supporting engineering organizations from prototyping right up to the manufacturing of final parts.
Photocentric launched Liquid Crystal Titan at the recent Formnext exhibition in Frankfurt. It has a 695 x 385 x 1200mm build volume, 91-micron pixel pitch, and an impressive 86mm/hour print speed. The printer and its diverse applications – from exhibition figures, automobile parts, and decorative art to furniture – were exhibited at the event.
Titan is part of a complete solution for large-part printing with the Wash XL and Cure XL post-processing units, and an extensive range of resins, design software, recycling options, training, and an extended product warranty. Unusually, Photocentric was a resin manufacturer first and is now vertically integrated – making both printers and materials. This gives the company a different perspective on what is needed to enable the mass manufacturing of digital parts. Photocentric work directly with users to optimize their applications – resulting in competitive advantages over other systems.
“We are increasingly being asked to produce large prints with highly detailed finishes that can be used in films, museums, and elsewhere on display. Titan will enable us to print them quickly, with outstanding detail, at a price that makes sense for this market,” said Lennart van den Doel, Founder of 3D Next Level.
“Additive Manufacturing is an essential tool for designers and engineers in product development, but increasingly one for production. Titan has a large volume build, so can print many identical versions of the same part or print one-off large pieces, opening a wider opportunity for users to be both creative and profitable,” said Agustin Soriano, Sales and Marketing Director at Photocentric.
