Build anything you can imagine, with one machine.
, used in FDM 3D printers, is a solid material that often comes wrapped around a spool, the Photon M3 uses resin. Resin is a liquid solution that solidifies after photocuring with UV light.
How the Photon M3 differs from this is, firstly, that it builds itself upside down . The resin, like filament, goes on one layer at a time, but is cured between every layer for optimum efficiency and quality.
Something to note is that your builds will be a little smaller than you may be used to, with a maximum build size of 6.4 inches L x 4 inches W x 7.1 inches H. For comparably priced filament printers, you would expect at least a couple extra inches to work with, but this is easily made up by the level of detail your models will showcase.
The included screen protector is such an important component here, as it keeps your LCD screen scratch-free and allows for a longer lifespan. The LCD is so essential to the entire operation that you want to ensure it’s protected. If your screen protector becomes damaged, you can easily strip it off and put another one on — whereas the screen itself would be a bit trickier to replace.
