What makes P3 unique?

P3 is a combination of several tightly controlled, programmable steps in the printing process. P3 extends DLP printing’s capabilities and supports the next generation of production applications made with photopolymers. This powerful combination of production-grade technology and performance materials unlocks functional end-use applications in 3D printing with competitive throughput and part cost.

How it works:

Four critical parts of the P3 process enable the unique combination of high throughput, production-grade part quality and materials.

  • Light: Programmable light sets off an exothermic reaction that forms layers with outstanding resolution, accuracy and dosage control.
  • Environmental stability: Temperature-controlled printing mitigates warping and shrinkage, while unlocking materials with advanced properties, like flame retardancy.
  • Pneumatic separation: A perfectly timed separation procedure reduces pull forces, leading to a molded-like surface finish, high-throughput and ultra-fine features, such as textures or large surface areas like molds.
  • Motion: Precise control over printer movements ensures a repeatable, fast and accurate workflow in a wide range of geometries and high-performance materials.
  • Green Strength: The P3 process produces a high polymerization conversion, unlocking faster print times, extreme geometries, and build nesting.

Get ready for a new era of accurate, repeatable, isotropic 3D printing

Programmable PhotoPolymerization P3™ technology, an evolution of digital light processing (DLP) is ushering in a new era in 3D printing: the mass production of functional end-use parts.

P3 software precisely orchestrates light, temperature, pull forces and pneumatics to optimize prints for the best possible results. With P3, manufacturers can achieve injection molding part quality and surface finish with incredible accuracy, in a diverse and continuously growing range of high-performance materials.Any 3D printing process deployed for production must be accurate and repeatable when it comes to geometric dimensions and material properties of manufactured parts. This study evaluates P3’s variability, examining part accuracy, system repeatability, and mechanical properties across multiple Origin One manufacturing systems and across consecutive production builds.
