- Now available below $40,000, the ETEC Pro XL delivers extreme
accuracy, resolution, and surface finish in a large build area with
the high throughput speeds for which area-wide DLP technology is
known
- Additional updates to ETEC Pro XL include a 4K ultra
high-definition projector and proven HyperPrint™ technology that
turbocharges already-fast DLP print times with a resin heater and
closed-loop sensing system for continuous, isotropic printing
- ETEC Pro XL can process a wide range of industrial, jewelry
casting, and health photopolymers — including specified resins from
trusted third-party providers, such as Henkel Loctite®, Evonik, and
BASF
- The ETEC Pro XL is built off the same reliable chassis as the
classic EnvisionTEC Perfactory — the system on which DLP was first
invented in 2002 and has been delivering a high ROI for
manufacturing customers for 20+ years
- ETEC Pro XL with HyperPrint DLP is Additive Manufacturing 2.0
enabled, so customers can move from prototyping to full production
on the same system or a fleet of systems
Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE: DM), a global leader in Additive
Manufacturing 2.0 technologies for mass production of metal,
ceramic, polymer, and health products, today announced the launch
of the ETEC Pro XL — a premium polymer DLP printer that enters the
market at less than half the price as its predecessor.

The ETEC Pro XL features a large build area of 249.1 x 140.1 x
165.1 mm (9.8 x 5.5 x 6.5 in) and a significant number of new,
high-value updates:
- a 4K ultra high-definition projector (3840 x 2160 pixel)
delivers optimum build size and pixel resolution
- a premium 385 nm wavelength light engine delivers 5mW/cm^2
power density that translates into faster layer exposure times
- HyperPrint™ technology turbocharges already-fast DLP print
times with a resin heater and closed-loop sensing system for
continuous isotropic printing with low pulling forces
- native XY resolution of 65 μm with dynamic voxel resolution in
Z, material dependent, of 25, 50, or 100 μm
“Our ETEC polymer brand has been a leader for 20+ years in
high-quality DLP printing, and the ETC Pro XL continues that legacy
at an accessible new price point while delivering critical user
upgrades,” said Ric Fulop. “DLP remains a superior polymer 3D
printing technology for speed, surface finish, and accuracy, which
is why we have more than 300 Super Fleet customers around the world
with more than three systems running around-the-clock production
with our machines. That includes manufacturers of industrial goods,
toys, jewelry, medical devices, and consumer electronics. Our
average customer fleet size is six printers, but it is not uncommon
for our customers to have fleets of more than 20 printers. The
platform on which the ETEC Pro XL is based, originally known as the
Perfactory and more recently known as the P4K, has been a major
driver of these Super Fleets.”
The ETEC Pro XL is currently qualified for use with E-Rigid Form
Charcoal, a polyurethane-like resin with high strength and
stiffness; HTM 140, a high-temperature molding material; and Easy
Cast 2.0, a high-wax jewelry casting material. ETEC Pro XL is also
backwards-compatible with materials previously approved for prior
models of the P4K and Perfactory upon request. This system is also
compatible with third-party resins from trusted manufacturers such
as Henkel Loctite (IND3843 and IND405™), Evonik (INFINAM ST 6100),
and BASF (Ultracur3D® RG 3280).
The approved rigid, high-heat, and castable materials available
on this system make it ideal for use with a variety of industrial,
jewelry, and medical applications such as automotive and machine
parts, aerospace components, housings, connectors, jigs and
fixtures, microfluidic devices, castable jewelry patterns,
short-run molds, fluid ducts, and prosthetics.

The Benefits of DLP Printing
ETEC Pro XL is a DLP printing system, a form of 3D printing
photopolymers that originated in 2002 with the EnvisionTEC
Perfactory, the base platform of the ETEC Pro XL.
DLP delivers both high speed and quality by harnessing the power
of a high-definition projector to rapidly flash and cure one layer
of resin at a time using a theater-quality DLP chip. Because
projectors expose light in pixels, the brightness of each pixel can
be controlled individually. That allows for curing of each pixel to
different depths or volumetric pixels, also known as voxels. The
ability to control each voxel dramatically improves the accuracy
and surface quality of 3D printed parts, especially when paired
with custom optics and specific light wavelengths.
The ETEC Pro XL features a 4K UHD projector powered by an
industrial DLP chip below the print vat. Dual linear slides for the
moving build plate ensure a high accuracy print across the entire
print bed by maintaining a parallel build environment. Depending on
the material being processed, layer thicknesses down to 25 micron
can be achieved. Custom optics and a premium 385 wavelength for
superior curing, are just some of the upgrades offered in this new
system. Desktop Metal acquired EnvisionTEC and its DLP technology
in 2021.
