What does UV printed refer to?

I'm not in the 3d printing yet, that looks awesome.

[–] v1605@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (3 children)

UV printing is a way to print designs on plastic and other materials (special ink is applied to the surface and cured with UV light). This shell was definitely injection modeled, not 3D printed. I'm pretty sure the shell itself is this one.

Okay, thanks. Looks awesome

So it's more like "UV cured" rather than "UV printed".

[–] v1605@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

No, UV printed is still the correct term. For 3D printing, "resin printed" is the more common term.

Here's a pretty good video on it (recommend setting it to 1.25x speed)
