Page 20: Construction Of The Machine
Ultra® 3SP™ Construction of the Machine Different from other Rapid Prototyping systems, the Ultra 3SP system does not use a projector but a laser unit for the curing of resins. Beside a much longer life cycle of the light source, this technique has the advantage of a minimized preparation phase for a build job and provides a more accurate processing. -

Page 23: Laser Unit
• Always use the supplied eye protection. The laser unit in the Ultra 3SP machine consists of a rail-mounted laser head which is moved in x and y-direction by two independent control modules. Using a multi-cavity laser diode with an orthogonal mirror spinning at 20,000 rpm, the light is reflected through the spinning drum and goes through a series of optical elements, thereby focusing the light onto the surface of the photo polymer. -
