Photo lithography is an very precise method of manufacturing, in the past feature sizes of 100nm where obtained. When googleing the This is an awesome achievement! For us this also means that the world needs more and different kinds of these projects to become really open source. We found that there are two main DIY 3D printer routes out there that are easily accessible, FDM and photo lithography. In lithography light is used to cure a resin to become a solid, the nice thing with this process is that where the light does not shine on the resin it stays liquid. And there is a variety of photo lithography 3D printing methods. There are various powder bed 3D print techniques, where the powder particles are selectively fused together with a laser or glued together with a printed adhesive. Your Makerbots and Ultimakers that use a heated nozzle through which a filament is heated and deposited on the desired location. There is Fused Deposition Modelling, FDM for short this is the category the RepRap community largely falls in to. Why did we work on a 3D Direct Light Processing printer (DLP)? 3D printers come in many shapes, sizes and varieties. In short 3D printers are awesome, you can never have enough 3D printers. And most of all the freedom to design and fabricate exactly what you need, when you need it without any barriers. More possible ways to show your epic awesomeness in creation. Why did we work on a 3D printer? Well as you all know the world needs more 3D printers, more platforms for creation, more freedom. We have now finished version 1.0 and now it is time to share our learnings with the rest of the world. A 3D dlp printer to be exact, an open source high resolution 3D DLP printer to be even more exact. I have to admit that I have not been active on Instructables for quite a while now, this because we (yes it is we now :D) have been busy developing a 3D printer.
