quick start guide new features

New Features

The Viper Pro has the following features that are improvements over SLA models:

Resin Delivery Module

Single Resin Delivery Module

The Viper Pro is capable of building with only one resin delivery module while the second

delivery module is inactive. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the second module can be

warmed up offline while the first is building. A single resin delivery module can upgrade to a dual

resin delivery module in less than two days.

Dual Resin Delivery Module

The Viper Pro can also build parts in two separate build zones. Each zone is independently

capable of supporting its own active resin delivery module and motion axis control, allowing

controlled builds in both zones simultaneously and allowing those builds to use different resins.

Extra Large Resin Delivery Module

The Viper Pro can operate so that two build zones combine into a single larger build zone to create

larger parts that figure into a single contiguous envelope. The extra large resin delivery module

allows for a build zone of 1500mm x 750mm x 500mm.

quick start guide new features

Intelligent Resin Container

Each container holds an electronic storage device that has information about the resin that is in the

bottle. This information allows the Viper Pro to make sure that the user does not use the wrong

material, use the material incorrectly, use an empty container, or use an expired container.

Resin Change Time Reduction

Not only can you now change resin time in less than ten minutes, you can also swap the resin

delivery module easily without coming into contact with resin. All components that come in

contact with resin in the resin delivery module are removed with the module itself. You can

remove the resin delivery module easily and quickly and replace it with another active resin

delivery module, without having to clean any wet resin surface. This new feature significantly

reduces resin swap time. In addition, you may warm up a resin delivery module offline, allowing

you to swap one resin delivery module for another that is ready to use.

Recoating Module

Scanning System

The scanning system makes the laser draw.
