Re: LCDs and UV

Ted, please tell us more about your printers (change thread title). I
know that driving a print head is pretty simple but it does seem your
method does away with many of the headaches indeed. What do you use
as the print head, do you still use Zcorp heads, do they fit in a
standard printer?

You are right about DLPs, they are super. Perhaps they will come
available in duff equipment as you say or perhaps they will find there
way into cheaper products of some form.

In terms of layering I have not done any in Rhino other than to run
the contour command but in theory I think it is possible even if it
requires a further program to do the filling part. If you contoured
and nested the outline in Rhino and then exported as bmp it should be
easy to do the fill in a simple VB program.

p.s. To correct my other recent post, dye sub printers add a
protective layer so unless you grab the paper out at the end you will
not be able to ue it for etch resist in either case hot acid might not
go too well with a sublimatable material.
