Chipset designed for 3D printing and lithography uses 4-M micromirrors

The DLP9000X, offers the highest speed and resolution chipset for 3D printing and lithography applications. The chipset consists of the DLP9000X digital micromirror device (DMD) and the newly available DLPC910 controller, and offers developers more than five times the speed at continuous streaming compared to the existing DLP9000 chipset. For more information, see www.ti.com/DLPspeed.

Example application areas for the DLP9000X chipset include 3D printing, direct imaging lithography, laser marking, LCD/OLED repair and computer-to-plate printers, as well as 3D machine vision and hyperspectral imaging. The chipset delivers 60 Gb/s streaming pixel speed, enabling more than five times faster total exposure. Its 4 million micromirrors reduce print heads by 50 percent compared to the DLP9500 chipset while supporting print feature sizes of less than 1 µm.² The chipset is optimized for 400 to 700 nm wavelengths and are compatible with widely available photosensitive resins and materials. It supports lasers, LEDs and lamp light sources.
