Metal 3D printers: proprietary stereolithography technology①

At the time of equipment introduction

The surface roughness of the stereolithography was 11 µm (Rmax) and required polishing.

Therefore, we optimised our know-how [cutting conditions of the machining pattern of the cutting tool] and were able to achieve a surface roughness of 5 µm.

This eliminated the need for grinding after metal stereolithography and improved production efficiency.
