Can anyone please point this fellow in the right direction?

I hope at least a few here have knowledge on this use for lasers and scanners--



Hello,

Do you have access to any type of high resolution laser galvo heads?

Second reply--

Hey there Len,

To answer your question, and I am assuming by 15kpps you are speaking to ILDA resolution, to be honest I don't know if even 30K would suffice for this application. The intended goal is a laser head galvo for stereolithography resin curing, for a 3D printing platform. Any idea if your options would meet or exceed 50 micron resolution for UV resin curing?

I am located in Richmond VA USA.

Best regards

Gregory


This was sent to me by AixiZ -- thanks for any help offered-

Is this more about the beam size/specs than the galvos? Could also use a high res DLP projector but not sure on accuracy- probably better than galvos for repeatability?

There has been use of a certain video projectors dlp chip for this use... Without certain wavelength diodes removed but this is not plug and play.

Calculating spatial resolution of a Galvo scanned laser beam requires a bunch of equations I do not have with me. After a five hour flight today, I get home on a red eye after a layover. So maybe in the morning I'll post the math. I've yet to see a low cost Asian galvo with the position sensor accuracy data specified.

I have repaired SLA systems that used both G120 and capacitive feedback Cambridge galvos for SLA. It is doable.

In fact when SLA was developed, it was the only way.
