Force Feedback

Printer adapts in real-time to respond to suction forces and resin flow

Light Bar

And auditory feedback for printer status

Touchscreen

More interactions available on the touchscreen and a more ergonomic location at eye level, avoiding resin drips on the screen

Benefits

Compared to M1 and M2 Printers

Broader Design Space

Parts that M1/M2 printers may not have printed successfully may be printed on an M3 / M3 Max

  • Greater impact for EPUs
  • Example geometries improved:
    • Unsupported overhangs
    • Tall / high "aspect ratio" parts
    • Beveled edges on platform
    • Low adhesion parts (including some unvented cavities)
Low adhesion part succeeds on M3 / M3 Max printer due to force feedback
Low adhesion part succeeds on M3 / M3 Max printer due to force feedback

Accuracy Accuracy will vary depending on geometry and material.

  • Less cross-build variability
  • Less variation in general accuracy
  • Less variation in production repeatability



More Consistent Surface Finish

  • Less variance in the finish equates to a smoother feel and more consistent finish

Resin Compatibility

All resins currently available for use with Carbon printers are validated for use in the M3 / M3 Max printer.
