Basically there are two very common techniques for SLA printing : DLP and LASER. Personally I find it unfortunate to monopolize a beamer for a printer, so no DLP here. Laser? why not but it is complicated to implement, (and dangerous), so no laser.
What remains? A more recent technique is to use a nacked LCD panel as slide and UV LEDs to cure the resin. Hmm not bad! No overpriced equipment, possibility to recycle old screens, simple to implement... Ok! we'll go with that.

Hello All,
could you please tell me how can you provide uniform light?I mean, if we print full table for same model, can we get same weight for all(like are the weight of print in the corners is same weight of print in the middle?)
