The DF2 solution meets the demand for individual small-batch production and offers
5 key benefits: fast printing speeds, excellent surface finish and precision performance,
simple and comprehensible processes, overall improved reliability
as well as an efficient and secure workflow. The implementation of the Raise3D DF2 solution
leads to a reduction in working time, optimization of resin consumption and
more efficient and sustainable resin 3D printing - an equally important factor
such as increased productivity and shorter delivery times.

DF2 DLP-3D-PRINTER

The DF2 3D printer offers impressive technical specifications
and is a reliable choice for professional printing tasks.
With a construction volume of 200 x 112 x 300 mm, it offers despite its
Compact size of 450 x 400 x 730 mm provides a generous printing area.

The layer height ranges from 50 to 100 microns, offering flexibility in print quality.
The DF2 3D printer comes with a resin tank, an air filter, a termination box,
supplied with a tool set and an intelligent building board.

Smart printing

The DF2 3D printer uses the Raise3D Air-Peel technology.
This solution, placed between the bottom of the resin tank and the optical glass,
Significantly reduces the peeling force from 50 kg to 10 kg and speeds up the removal of the layers
from the film during the printing process. This advance is based on an ultra-thin film of air,
which ensures smooth removal and thus the printing speed and
isotropic properties of the printed objects improved.

The DF2 printer’s intelligent build plate integrates seamlessly with post-processing devices
through embedded RFID tags. These tags record important information,
including the resin type, wash and post-cure settings.
This integration allows operators to control the washing and post-curing phases
effortlessly manageable, regardless of their familiarity with the manufactured objects.

Thanks to the Intelligent Resin Management system with features such as Auto Resin Refill,
Resin Material Auto-Recognition, Ultrasonic Liquid Level Monitoring and
Assisted Resin Tank Cleanup the DF2 efficiently processes resin during
of the entire 3D printing process and ensures efficiency and sustainability.

Excellent component quality

The DF2 uses industrial-grade optical components,
which minimize loss and eliminate dispersion,
to ensure the reproduction of sharp layers for improved durability and image quality.

What happens when using special resins that require certain temperatures?
is crucial for consistent results. The dust-proof and leak-proof design
also ensures long-lasting performance and durability.

Efficient and safe

The DF Wash post-processing device minimizes manual tasks through automation
Drain using an easy-to-use automatic pump and door mechanisms.
This not only reduces but also increases the need for manual intervention
the efficiency of cleaning by optimizing the solvent removal process from the washing station,
minimizes user contact with chemical residues.
The versatility of the DF Cure post-curing machine features a spacious curing area,
which offers space for large models.
Additionally, their multi-wave curing system provides compatibility with a variety
of 3D printing resins safely, increasing their adaptability in various printing scenarios.

Connectivity

The DF2 is equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen (1920 x 720) with Magic Layout.
This feature allows the user to choose the print layout directly from the screen
from changing and duplicating prints easily.
Another useful feature is the automatic preprint check,
which ensures that all working conditions such as resin type, resin edge or
Setup/feeding station installation is correct.
