Successfully increased the layer Accuracy of the 3D Systems VIPER si2™ SLA® system turning the £100k device into the Accuracy to vertical High Resolution of 0.015mm 15 microns found in devices costing £1m at the time.

Creating unmatched fine supports using different styles on the same build, that took over 17 years to be seen in consumer SLA on FormLabs who pay 7% on sales to 3D system for use patients.

The update was then distributed to devices Globally reducing the cost of industrial SLA, (carried out for free)

Wrote the SOP Standard Operating Procedure to use the upgrade.

SLA liquid ultraviolet curable photopolymer "resin" the Clear ACCURA ® 60 with QuickCast patterns, option for direct Investment Casting Titanium and ACCURA ® AMETHYST ™ for pattern making for RTV, HTV & direct casting.

Modern industrial SLA devices now have two solid state lasers reducing build time, and the Zephyr ™ recoater blade no longer uses a vacuum of resin to break surface tension.
