Low Force Display™ (LFD)
A Completely Redesigned 3D Print Engine

Low Force Display (LFD) uses six custom hardware systems to set the new standard for extreme speed, unmatched reliability, and performance including automatic resin handling, intelligent control systems, a flexible film resin tank, a release texture and a high power light processing unit.

Designed For Speed & Accuracy

The new release texture, a microstructured optical film, provides airflow during the 3D printing process which reduces the peel forces exerted on the part and enables lightning-fast print speeds without sacrificing accuracy or part quality.
