Creality has made a name for itself in the 3D Printing industry and continues to release new and exciting products. Recently they have been working on their range of DLP Printers with the release of the LD-002H, LD-002R, LD-006, and the Halot series. As the popularity of 3D Printing has increased, the price for entry-level DLP Printers has decreased, thus making the hobby far more accessible. A well-known aspect of resin is the learning curve and post-processing required for DLP Printing, with print cleaning and curing being both time-consuming and potentially problematic for print quality. This has led to a demand for a product that will simplify the cleaning and curing process, and where there is demand there are clever brands to take advantage. This has led to Creality releasing the UW-02 3D Resin Wash & Cure Station, a dual-purpose machine designed to make post processing easier. 

 

How Does the Creality UW-02 Make DLP Printing Easier? 

Experienced DLP Makers will know the messy hobby that is DLP Printing, while you can’t beat the incredibly high-quality prints produced by DLP Printing the process can be frustrating. This is due to the nature of the resins used and the precautions you need to follow when handling, cleaning, and curing resin as contact with the skin needs to be avoided during the whole process. When Creality released the UW-01 & UW-02 3D resin Washing & Curing Stations, we knew we had to stock both for all our DLP Makers. 

So how does the UW-02 make DLP Printing easier? While the chassis may look like a DLP Printer it is actually a dual-mode station capable of performing both print cleaning and curing, this means less time spent post-processing and more time making.  The cleaning cycle uses a large sealable container, basket, and your cleaning solution, IPA or ResinAway Solution to clean the print of any excess resin in preparation for curing. Once cleaning is complete the curing can begin. The large 360° rotating platform ensures that the UV LED Array is able to cover the entire print in a consistent light for a great cure. The UW-02 turns arduous and messy post-processing into a few extra steps. 

Although the UW-02 is designed to be natively compatible with all of the different Creality DLP Printers it can accommodate prints from various DLP Printers. Not every DLP Printer print platform will natively be compatible with the adapter, however, be sure to check Thingiverse as members of the Maker community have started designing adapters for various DLP Printers. If you want to avoid the hassle of 3D Printing a bracket, or can’t find a pre-designed bracket, you can remove the print from the build plate, place it in the included basket, and give it a thorough wash. Both the print platform and basket method should offer near-identical results no matter what DLP Printer you use. 

As a final Pro Tip, if your print platform isn’t compatible with the UW-02, and you want to avoid printer downtime, consider purchasing a secondary print platform and equipping both the primary and secondary with  Flexible Build Systems like those from Creality or Wham Bam. Then, once a print is finished, you can pull the build plate off of the primary magnetic base and switch it with the build plate on the secondary magnetic base. This means each print platform has a semi-permanent bed allowing you to maintain that perfect bed level that you’ve worked so hard to get and making the entire process easier, faster, and more streamlined. 

The UW-02 is built to accommodate a wide range of DLP Printers including the existing range of Creality DLP Printers. If you are looking for a more affordable option we also stock the UW-01 which offers the same great functions but is designed for smaller DLP Printers.

Although Creality 3D have been working within the industry since 2014, their addition of the Creality CR-10 series is what really catapulted them to the front line of competition, as it offered substantially better quality compared to other 3D printers – while simultaneously reducing the cost and complexities of the machines.

The quality of Creality’s 3D Printers and accessories shows through in their market history, with the brand selling around 3000 printers in their first year on the market, followed by about 10,000 sales over the next year. Now, Creality easily sells around 30,000 or more 3D printers each year, with sales continuously rising as they bring out more models. These are impressive numbers when considering the fact that they entered the industry as unknown competitors, quickly rising through the ranks and now even competing with Wanhao and similar top brands.

If you are looking for excellent 3D Printers that offer affordability without compromising on quality, Creality 3D is certainly a brand that you should take note of. From the basic Creality Ender 2 all the way up to the large build volume Creality CR-10 S5, there are few other brands who are capable of offering such a refined package while still maintaining some of the most enticing prices in the industry.
