Smart Features
Failure Detection
Detect failed or partially failed prints.
Saves time and resin.
Crash Detction
Stops movement if crash is detected.
Prevents damage to LCD.
Lift Release Detection
Detect separation during lift stage. Improves reliability and greatly reduces printing time.
FORCE SENSOR SYSTEM
Dynamic Wait Times
Dynamically adjust the "before layer"
exposure wait times. Improves print quality.
Resin Level Detection
Automatically checks resin level before
prints starts. Ensures print success.
Failure Detection
Athena can detect failed or partially failed prints and notify you of a failure, or take action to block exposure of partially failed print to allow the rest of the print to complete.
Resin Level Detection
Athena will check the level of the resin in the vat before starting a print to ensure there is enough resin to complete the print. If there is not, it will notify the user to add more resin.
Dynamic Wait Times
Athena will dynamically adjust the "before layer" exposure wait times. This can have a dramatic effect on the print quality, by waiting until the resin has stopped flowing before exposure, we can reduce the blooming effect exhibited by resin 3D printers.
Lift Release Detection
Athena can detect the separation of the printed model from the vat film, so it is able to dynamically adjust the lifting height of each layer to ensure full separation and stop lifting as soon as release has occurred. This can improve print reliability and decrease printing times by up to 60%
