Viper Pro SLA System’s Features
Resin Delivery Module
The Viper Pro SLA system’s time reduction for changing the resin simplifies the part-building
process. Not only can you now change resin in less than ten minutes, you can also swap the resin
delivery module (RDM) easily, with no tools required. All components that come into contact with
resin in the RDM are moved with the module itself. You can remove the RDM easily and quickly and
replace it with another active RDM, without having to clean any wet resin surface. This new feature
significantly reduces resin swap time. In addition, you can warm up an RDM offline, enabling you to
swap one resin delivery module for another that is ready to use.
Gloves, however, may be required to detach the Zephyr ™ recoater blade. This new handling
method ensures that all parts that come into contact with resin under normal operation are a part
of the active RDM.
The RDM enables the user, using a computer monitor, to strain the debris that inevitably
accumulates in the machine so that it can be removed in a similar manner to the removal of build
platforms. It also removes the higher viscosity resin that settles on the bottom of the delivery
module, recirculates the resin to help prevent gel formation, and stirs the resin to achieve uniform
viscosity.
Table 1, shown on the next page, lists the required build envelopes that represent all RDM and
platform elevator configurations that the Viper Pro SLA system supports. Each RDM and platform
elevator design minimizes the amount of resin that the Viper Pro SLA system requires.
