VLM

Viscous Lithography Manufacturing

AM Type

Definition

Viscous Lithography Manufacturing is a form of stereolithography that uses a transparent film to transfer high viscosity resins onto a build platform, where they are cured by light to form 3D printed parts. Unlike conventional DLP, SLA or PMSL processes, which require low viscosity resins, VLM can process resins with up to 100 times higher viscosity, resulting in superior mechanical properties and performance.
