Pixel Dimming ensure the highest print quality along with an easy setup experience. This feature would have following effects by dimming the pixels:
- Prevents over-cure
- Preserves details
- Makes it possible to use one profile/cure time for different pieces with different thicknesses
- Increases the PDMS life time
What is/are the reason(s) to use it?
Pixel Dimming somehow is a necessity on large, solid parts. The larger the area being cured for any
particular layer, the more of a runaway cure you will experience. That is why, the layer over cures
despite all attempts to prevent it through adjusting cure times. But by enabling Pixel Dimming, you can
fix it quite easily.
How to use it?

Pixel Dimmingsection, you can select your preferredDimming Type.

Problems With STL Files: Check STL Files for 3D Printing
As a 3D printing enthusiast, I’ve encountered my fair share of problems with STL files. Often I worry whether an STL I downloaded online will even successfully print or not. These files sometimes come with issues that can derail the printing process even before it begins. It is important to understand and identify the errors […]
How to make stl file smaller: easiest way to decrease stl file size
Oversized STL files plague the internet and are a pain to work with for 3D printing. If you’ve downloaded or bought a precious high-resolution model that is oversized, chances are you will have difficulty printing it. This is why we should learn how to make STL files smaller without losing printing detail. In this guide […]
NanoDLP Software for SLS 3D Printers
One of the less known aspect of the NanoDLP is the ability to control both SLS and Laser SLA 3d printers. SLS is type of 3D printers create shapes by using laser to heat powders. Compare to SLA (Resin) printers quality is lower but additional support structure is not needed and high-end SLS machines use […]
