We have a DLP printer and a castable resin. The Z resolution is 25 micron. Build size is set at 160 mm x 100 mm, which gives X resolution about 160/1920=0.083 mm (83 micron), and Y resolution of 93 micron. We can print a few parts for you to help you evaluate the quality of small details. You can also look at the pictures in our hub as well.

Hi. I have a Titan 1. When I got the printer I immediately inherited a whole bunch of problems regarding their printing vat and platform. I spent weeks re-inventing the vat as well as the print platform. I am now able to print into a glass petri dish with teflon held by a special rubber/acrylic bracket. I had to corona treat the teflon to epoxy it down on to the glass, since other self adhesive teflon sheets, in my opinion, are utterly useless. I always print onto a roughened acrylic base plate which is screwed to the original print platform. I got to say, I got pretty frustrated with resin prints not adhering on the platform. This problem has now been totally eliminated. I agree with what someone else said, this was not just a ‘plug and play’. I think the makers of the equipment were too rushed in releasing the equipment even with major faults.
On the brighter side, I can now print predictably and successfully in high detail using the correct resin all the time, and this with a fairly low priced printer.
If you are after a casting, you can always approach a dental lab for a quote. Most labs have sophisticated casting equipment and very accurate materials for detailed castings.
I have been using the Rapid Shape printers for about a year now and all I can say is that its awesome in every way. My 50 micron prints are better then any SLA or print head style printer out there even the 16 micron prints from the projet cannot compare. For those of you that want high detail and fast builds look at the Rapid Shape you wont regret it. 25 micron XYZ just cannot be beat.
