Technical Principle
Principle of LCD photocuring 3D printing technology
The core mechanism of light curing 3D printing technology is the light-curing chemical reaction that
photosensitive resin will undergo light-curing reaction and instantly change from liquid to solid when it
encounters 405 nm blue light.
RAYSHAPE Edge E1 3D printer uses the mature monochrome LCD technology to make the reaction process
controllable.
Step 1: ShapeWare 3D printing software will process the STL file you need to print into a slicing file.
Step 2: Additive manufacturing: the above figure is the structural schematic diagram of E1 3D printer. The resin
tank contains photosensitive resin. In the first stage of printing, the printing platform that can move up and down
on the Z axis is close to the bottom of the resin tank. The LCD screen projects a slice image of the model to be
printed. The image is imaged at the bottom of the resin tank and bonded to the printing platform. After one layer
is cured, the printing platform in the second stage is lifted up to a certain height, Separate the printed first layer
from the bottom. In this cycle, press it down to a certain distance from the bottom, and then the LCD screen
projection solidifies the next layer until all the slices are printed.
Stage 1: Printing platform descend and LED on Stage 2: Printing platform rise and
separate from the bottomon

The best operating ambient temperature of Edge E1 is 25-30℃, the humidity is below 60%, the environment
shall be well ventilated (non-conned space), and the device installation location shall avoid direct sunlight.
No dust pollution
Edge E1 contains precision optical components inside the machine body, so the user should ensure that there is
no dust pollution in the service environment, otherwise it will affect the normal operation of the optical devices.
Level and stable platform, away from re, heat and vibration sources
A level and stable platform is required for Edge E1, away from re, heat and vibration sources.
Keep the cover closed during printing
During the printing process, please try not to open the cover for a long time, so as to avoid the drastic change of
the resin temperature due to the uctuation of the temperature inside the printer case, which affects the stability
of the light curing chemical reaction, causing printing failure or poor printing quality.
Use ocial materials
All ocial RAYSHAPE materials have been extensively tested and optimized for superior performance, and we
can not guarantee that you can get the same or similar printing performance when using non-designated
materials.
Please note that you are responsible for the loss of printing performance or printer damage caused by the use
of non-designated materials.
Ensure the speed and stability of wireless network
If your device is connected to the router via a wireless network, we recommend that you place the wireless
router and your Rayshape 3D printer as close as possible to ensure high signal strength and data transmission
speed. The router should not be blocked by wall

Interface introduction
Shovel the cured layer of resin along the edge of
the resin tank with the triangular scraper until it was
separated at the corner.
Please take the layer of solid resin with your hands
by wearing rubber gloves and discard it properly
afterward. It is not recommended to deal with that by
using the tools such as tweezers since the solid resin
with such thickness was quite brittle.
Step 3：
Clean up the cured resin within the tank.
Step 4：
Double check that whether there is residual fragment
within the resin tank, repeat the procedure above if
there is any.
Please get the resin material filtered before starting with
the printing task if there is lots of cured fragment after a
failed printing.
