Continuing our series looking at the State of Resin 3D Printing, Raymond Weitekamp, polySpectra Founder and CEO gives us his insights into the wider adoption of photopolymer-based 3D printing. 3D Printing Industry: How have you seen resin-based 3D printing develop in recent years? Raymond Weitekamp: I’ve been excited to see the sheer number of new SLA/DLP/LCD printers now available in the world. As a chemist, I’ve also been really excited to see an increasing number of “open” printers – there is finally a healthy ecosystem of compatible software <> hardware <> resin. When we first started working in 3D printing, the Autodesk Ember (RIP) was the only open printer! Now, it is very clear that additive manufacturing end users are going to choose the best combination of software/hardware/chemistry for their specific applications, without the full solution stack needing to come from one company.
