Make: PROFLUIDICS 285D (CADWorks3D)
Details
CADWorks3D printer ProFluidics 285D is a high-end DLP printer with 4 million pixel projector technology and a build size of 100x62x120mm. Its distinguishing feature is dynamic pixel advantage which allows the printer to reliably achieve an XY pixel resolution of 28.5um; it is able to take the cube-like structure that is prevalent with DLP prints and find the best curve to fit to create a smoother, rounded-out surface finish.

Deionized water is used extensively in studying chemical reactions, colloidal interaction, and biological sample preparation. Deionization systems work by replacing negative and positive molecules in the water with H+ and OH- molecules. Organic substances are removed through filtration which improves the quality of the water and prevents the formation of scale deposits.
