Why stereolithography is important in Japan?

Originally born in JapanWell balanced RP system– Accuracy, quality, post-processing etc.Easy to make “ACCURATE” prototype in

reasonable period– Accuracy is very important in Japan.Most effective tool for R&D in Japan – Reduce developing cost and timeCustomers can use a various type of resins. – Durable resin, high temperature resin, rubber like resin, water resist resin, and etc.

Resin is the “key” for stereolithography

► Resin performance is the key factor for stereolithography ► A new resin makes a new market and usage► Trend for Direct/Rapid manufacturing (DM/RM)

→ ABS performance is the short“Target.”→ High temperature, durable resin (POM,

PC performance) creates “New Markets.”
