About the Process:
Lubricant Sublayer Photo-curing (LSPc) is a masked stereolithography (mSLA) process that is much faster than traditional stereolithography (SLA). It uses an LED array as the light source together with an LCD photomask, which serves to shape the layer image as it passes onto and through the self-lubricating membrane. This arrangement allows higher light levels which translates to faster build speeds with less image distortion – ultimately resulting in better quality prints.
