Micro-Layer Printing Micro-layer printing refers to 3D printing with ultra-thin layer heights, typically 50 microns (0.05 mm) or less, to achieve exceptional surface smoothness and fine detail. This technique is commonly used in SLA, DLP, and high-precision FDM printing for applications such as dental models, jewelry, and miniatures. While micro-layer printing enhances detail, it significantly increases print time and requires highly calibrated motion systems to maintain accuracy. Nozzle diameter, print speed, and cooling settings must be optimized to prevent over-extrusion or nozzle clogging. When executed correctly, micro-layer printing produces nearly seamless parts with minimal post-processing. |
