What is DLP 3D Printing?

DLP: Digital Light Processing Mask Projection Image Hardening Method

• A cross-section photograph of the output is laminated by irradiating the photo-curable liquid

resin with UV light..

• Due to the optical mask, the cross-sectional photograph of the output is totally inspected.

• Because of this surface unit lamination method, the output speed is fast and the surface

roughness high, so it is possible to make use of precision.

03. Precaution

This information is intended to protect your safety and property damage.

For your safety, please be aware of the precautions to prevent personal injury or printer damage.

When you print out the printer, it may cause the resin to smell distinctive, so

please install the printer in a well-ventilated place.

When using volatile objects near the printer, do not use it because there is a

risk of fire or explosion.

When moving the printer, be sure to completely shut down the printer, and

then remove the resin or tray to avoid overflowing the resin in the tray.

If the printer is on, do not off the power switch located on the back of the

printer. Forcible termination can shorten the life of the printer engine and

cause mechanical failure. Press the Exit button on the LCD panel to shut down

the printer.

If some objects such as water or other liquids, metal chips, or other conductive

materials are introduced into the printer, it may adversely affect the printer,

such as mechanical malfunction. In addition, do not operate with wet hands

because of the risk of electric shock, please wear the nitrile gloves and using.

If you touch the door or touch screen strained with gloves or tools, it may

cause malfunction(Touch screen malfunction, door crack, etc.).

If the tray removed while the plate attached after printing, impurities may fall

inside and cause a failure. First, remove the plastic plate, remove the tray

afterwards.

When removing the tray, be careful that the bearings that were used as the

bearing may be lost (If you lose, you may incur costs).

After the output, take out the resin remaining in the tray with a syringe, filtering

residue with a sieve, and store it separately.

If you put the resin in the tray due to frequent work, keep it closed that is not

exposed to the external environment as much as possible.

If the dyestuff of the resin stored in the tray is separated, it must be mixed with

a rubber spatula before printing.(If the sheet is damaged by storing the resin in

the tray for a long period of time, this is the customer's fault.)

After the output is completed, When you remove the plastic plate with the

printout, be sure to move the tray (tray) that supports the resin that falls down

so that the material does not fall inside the product. If the material falls inside

the product, it may cause deformation or breakdown.

If the printer power cable and USB cable are damaged due to being pulled or

stepped on the rough surface, please note that sparking or voltage

malfunction may occur. Also, if there is a lot of current in the power cord or

outlet, there is a risk of fire due to overheating.

The printer has potential risks in terms of chemical composition and voltage.

To prevent injuries to children and pets, install a printer in a safe place to

prevent accidents.

If the printer is installed in a location where there is a lot of humidity or

temperature changes, it may cause deformation or malfunction of the product.

If you disassembling or remodeling the printer artificially, the warranty benefits

will be lost and you will not be held liable for any loss caused by this.

For inquiries regarding A/S inquiries and product warranty, please contact

Carima Co., Ltd. for a friendly consultation.(82-2-3663-8877).

Malfunction or trouble due to non-compliance, tuning, disassembly, etc. are

recognized as customer errors and will be charged during the warranty period.

Now we will explain the procedure from the

first opening to the output of the IM Series.

Check List

Printing Preparation

02 LCD Panel Using Method

Start Printing

III Preparing & Printing

01. Printing Preparation

To start output to the IM Series, you must first set the material. For material

setting, there are tray preparation, resin swelling, plate.

Fixing the plate and place with the fixing pin.

Prepare the printing by pouring resin into the tray.

Fit the separated formative plate into the formative top.

If you scratch the sheet of ⑤ with a sharp blade or cutter knife, be careful not only to tear it

but also to contaminate the engine room with resin.

All you really need to know

Information on the use of resin

When using a resin, please use all means wearing nitrile gloves. When

replenishing resin, please charge it before possible output. Inevitably, when

replenishing the resin during printing, press the "Pause" button and slowly

insert the resin after the operation is completely stopped. Charging the resin

during printing can cause bubbles and adversely affect the printout.

Information about using the tray

As you print, the surface of the sheet is punctured, torn, and

loosened. In this case, since the resin seeps out and can not be

used, replace it with a new tray.

If the user accidentally prints or hardened debris hurt the

surface of the sheet, these symptoms will appear in a short time.

Information on formative plate maintain

Information about using the tray

You can clean the modeling plate by scratching the

molding plate with wax or wiping it with a wet tissue. If

you want to use another resin for output, please wipe the

resin before you clean it.

The life span of the optical engine lamp is 20,000 hours, and the

lamp brightness may be lowered when used over the life span.

If the lamp usage time exceeds 20,000 hours, you can improve

the output quality by replacing the lamp.

FAQ

01. Printer Maintain

It is important to keep the printer well in order to use it for a long time. In

this regard, I will tell you how to clean and manage your printer.

If you do not use the printer for a long period of time, remove

the power cable from the printer and store the printer in a

shady place.

If the resin falls or flows into the printer, wipe it with alcohol

on the towels (tissues, kitchen towels, etc.).

If dust has accumulated on the engine lens, wipe it with a lens

cleaning agent on the microfiber towel. When you wipe the

lens, wipe the lens gently as you circle.

Damage to the engine lens can adversely affect print quality.

When cleaning, please handle it carefully.

02. Other Maintain

Consumables related to the printer include trays, resin, and basic components.

Tray(Vat) Management

Consumables related to the printer include trays, resin, and basic components. If

you want to remove the resin that you used earlier and use other resin,

completely remove the resin from the existing tray with the syringe included in

the base component.

Then use the trays to clean the remaining resin with alcohol-impregnated towels.

When using various resins, it is recommended to use individual trays for each

resin in CARIMA CO., LTD. Resins are not well wiped by nature, or mixed with

other resins, which can adversely affect print quality.

If there is residue on the tray,

• You can remove debris with your hands with nitrile gloves.

• When removing the residue using the hera, be careful not to

damage the tray sheet surface (it is not recommended to use hera

directly on the sheet).

Resin residue

Sheet surface

Resin Management

Resins are vulnerable to sunlight or a variety of light. Always keep it in

a shady place where it can not be used for a long time.

When the tray with the resin is pulled out from the printer and stored,

it is possible to store it by using a product (foil, etc.) that can block the

light.

Never mix with other resin.

Resin is a chemical component. Please wear goggles and sunglasses

and a mask when you use it because the resin may splash and enter

your eyes or cause a chemical odor that makes your respiratory

system worse.

03. FAQ

We would like to inform you about the contents of the most inquiries while

using the 3D printer of Carima Co., Ltd.

The engine does not turn on.

Turn off the power, turn down the switch at the back, and then turn it on again.

If the power does not turn on after that, please contact Carima.

How much resin does it fill?

Resin should be poured in small increments as needed.

Fill only one third of the tray at the beginning.

The output is blank.

Check if the engine light is on and set the exposure time again. If you still can

not print after this, please contact us.

If the output falls during output, how do I?

First stop the operation and turn off the engine, take out the tray and filter the

debris. At this time, the resin on the molding plate may fall on the engine.

What is the life span of the resin?

After opening the resin, up to 6 months is the period of use.

The resin may become hardened when exposed to light, so please keep it out of

the reach of light.

When I do not use the equipment, how do I manage it?

Unused equipment should first be emptied of resin in the tray, and the tray

should be lightly rinsed with alcohol. The equipment must be unplugged and

stored away from the environment (rain, wind, sunlight).

How do I clean the tray?

If there is any resin in the tray, check whether there is any residue. If there is any,

remove the clean resin separately through the funnel and the sieve net. Wipe the

resin inside the tray lightly with tissue paper and alcohol. Make sure that the

resin and alcohol do not get into the tray gap.

I inserted a slicing file and it says that the resolution is different.

If the resolution of the device is not correct, it will not be output. Be sure to

check the resolution and build size of the device in "config" before slicing.

What's the difference between "crv" and "stl" files?

The crv file is the default extension file of the carima slicer. Supporter and model

are separately recognized and stored so that they can be modified at any time

when the supporter work is completed and saved.

In the case of the stl file, supporters are bundled into a single chunk like the

model and can not be modified when saved.
