    Features of This Machine Layered Projection Technology Printing The DWP-80S is a 3D printer that uses layered projection technology. This machine uses photo-curable resin (referred to simply as "resin" in this manual), a fluid that hardens (cures) when exposed to light (UV rays), and a projector with a UV LED light source to print an object based on 3D data.

    2. Create the Print File in Quick Denta Step 1: Prepare the 3D Model Data Using commercially available 3D CAD software or a similar program, create 3D model data for printing. Quick Denta can be used to import the following two file types. • STL format: This is one format of 3D model data that can be created using commercially available 3D CAD software.
  • Page 24 2. Create the Print File in Quick Denta Click [Input] or [Open]. [Import] button • Use this when importing STL or Quick Denta format files. • You can select multiple files at the same time. • If a file has already been imported and you use this button to import a different file, you can add an object to the open file. • If you have imported a Quick Denta format file, the parameters set with Quick Denta (such as the layer thickness) will not be included.
  • Page 25 2. Create the Print File in Quick Denta Determine the layout and generate supports. M E M O Supports are reinforcing members added to data that support the job. Supports can prevent the job from falling into the liquid material vat or deforming due to the effects of gravity. Quick Denta can automatically add supports to objects.
  • Page 26 2. Create the Print File in Quick Denta Recommended Layout A r ran g i n g mu lti pl e o b jec ts ve r tical ly A vertically positioned object will require fewer supports including the fitting surface, making it possible to achieve higher quality printing.
  • Page 27 2. Create the Print File in Quick Denta H o ri z o n t al p os itio n in g When outputting only one object, horizontal positioning allows for shorter printing times. However, printing quality may be lower compared with the recommended layout (vertical). Click [Generate Supports].

For details on the message, refer to the Quick Denta help.
  • Page 29 Adjust the height of the printing machine legs before use. Adjust the legs so that the resin will collect on the printing platform side (the back of the machine) when the amount of resin in the liquid material vat gets low. For details, refer to the “DWP-80S Setup Guide." Wear rubber gloves (included or commercially available) and protective eyewear (commercially available).

    • Use an ultrasonic cleaner that produces a frequency of 40 to 45 kHz. • If the ethanol in the washing container changes color, replace it and wash the job again. • Contact your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer or visit the Roland DG Corp. website (http://www.rolanddg. com/) to purchase an ultrasonic cleaner.
  • Page 34 3. Printing Give the job a rough washing in the ultrasonic cleaner (3 minutes). Wash the job for finishing. Stop the ultrasonic cleaner and move the job to the finishing washing container. Put ethanol in the finishing washing container. Insert ethanol until the job is entirely submerged. Put water into the ultrasonic cleaner container and partially submerge the finishing washing container in the water. Wash the job in the ultrasonic cleaner for finishing (2 minutes). Stop the ultrasonic cleaner and remove the job. Wipe any ethanol off the job. I m p o r t a n t • Once washing is complete, remove the job from the washing container immediately. Allowing the object to soak for more than 5 minutes in the ethanol may cause the quality of the object to deteriorate.
