The secret to the Titan 1’s printing detail and speed was their Passive Self-Peeling (PSP) SLA technology that minimizes the separation force between the cured layers and the vat of resin. This greatly reduces the time it takes to cure and solidify the resin as well as providing some pretty impressive levels of part resolution and detail. The PSP process uses flexible resin containers that allow objects with details as fine as thread to be printed on the same machine as a larger object up to ten inches tall. With this process the Titan 1 only requires a single stepper motor to operate, making the machine simpler to assemble, repair and use.
When Kudo3D launched the retail version of the Titan 1 they also offered several accessories that could be purchased separately or as part of a package. They included a Post-Curing LED Lamp so the finished SLA models wouldn’t need to be set in the sun to be used; the lamp is faster and more efficient because the light is bombarding the model from all sides.
Now Kudo3D is offering two different silicone resin containers that can be mixed and matched on the Titan 1 based on the project being printed. The Soft Silicone Resin Container and the Hard Silicone Resin Container are now available in the Kudo3D store, and can be purchased individually, in pairs or they can be mixed and matched so Titan 1 users can have one of each. Each of the different vats offers different properties that allow the SLA 3D printer to offer even greater versatility and part quality.
Kudo3D is selling individual resin vats and a new build platform for $154.00 for either a soft silicon vat or a hard silicone vat. They are also selling pairs of resin vats without the build platform for $118, and you can select two of the same types of vats, or one of each soft or hard vats. And of course you can purchase your own Titan 1 SLA 3D Printer here.
