    DLP 3D Printing Applications

    DLP 3D Printing Applications

    Unlike SLA, DLP only requires a shallow vat of resin to facilitate its process. Thus, it results in less waste on its materials. It also lowers its running costs. DLP also prints 3D parts significantly fast. This is because it allows for curing the whole surface of a layer all at once. With all of these aspects, DLP 3D printer applications are very popular in different industries.
