In an age where technology continually reshapes industries, Photocentric stands as a beacon of innovation in the realm of 3D printing. I had the pleasure of speaking with Sally Tipping, New Business Director at Photocentric, to delve into the cutting-edge advancements and industry applications of their groundbreaking 3D printing technologies.
A Pioneering Force in 3D Printing
Photocentric, a UK-based manufacturer, has cemented its position as a trailblazer in 3D printing and photopolymer resins. Specializing in LCD resin printers, the company prides itself on being the first to develop a printer utilizing an LCD screen—a technology that has since been embraced by many in the industry. As Tipping pointed out, “We believe we were the first company in the world to make a printer using an LCD screen, and now there are many, including Formlabs, which recently introduced their own MSLA printer.”
The company’s latest marvel, the LC Titan, epitomizes their commitment to innovation and excellence. Boasting the largest LCD printer on the market, the LC Titan offers a Z height of 1.2 meters and an XY resolution of 695 by 385 millimeters with an 8K screen. This combination allows for high-resolution printing with a pixel pitch of 91 microns, enabling the creation of intricate and large-scale parts with remarkable precision.
