CMET Inc. is the group company of Nabtesco that manufactures and sells Stereolithography System (SLA), Sand Molding System (BJ), and related consumables.

CMET also provides technical support and maintenance services.

Stereolithography

In stereolithography, a layer of photocurable resin is irradiated with laser light or light through a photomask to be cured. This work alone is the same as lithography, but in stereolithography, the molding table is operated after this to create a new layer and harden it again. At this time, a single layer is formed by a spatula-like mechanism called a recoater. This is because the resin does not spread evenly due to the effect of surface tension only by lowering the table. A model is created by repeating this series of operations.

Features of Stereolithography

  • One of the major features of stereolithography is its outstanding precision among 3D printers. Other features include a smooth surface without polishing, detailed expression (fine holes, thin walls, etc.)
  • Stereolithography is the only method that can create highly transparent prototypes.
  • Stereolithography has been introduced in various industries such as automobiles, home appliances, and medical care, and is used for a wide variety of purposes.
