Micro Laser Modeling System ACCULAS®

Revolution in 3-D Ultra-fine Processing
Micro Stereo-lithography System, ACCULAS®

ACCULAS® is the first Stereo-lithography system in the world capable of creating micron-order 3-D solids. The revolutionary micro-modeling system enables complex 3-D ultra-fine solids to be made in a short time by means of a simple process.
When used in combination with a specially formulated UV-curable resin, 3-D ultra-fine modeling of an unprecedented level can be achieved. The system can be applied to prototype production and the manufacturing of micro devices in the MEMS (Microsystems/Micromachines), optical electron, and bio medical fields as well as to ultra-fine film surface modeling and the electroforming of master molds for nanoimprint lithography.

ACCULAS® was developed jointly by Laser Solutions CO., Ltd. and JSR Corporation. D-MEC Corporation is in charge of technical development and marketing.

Ultra-fine/Super-precision Stereo-lithography System

World's First Micron-order Stereo-lithography System Finally Realized!

A UV-curable resin having a hitherto unachieved resolution is cured at a super-precision resolution by a high-precision digital light exposure mechanism.
3-D structures are created by the layer-by-layer forming method, under which 3-D ultra-fine solids are formed automatically by repeated light exposure and resin coating.
Applications are expected to include research/prototype production/manufacturing of micron-order 3D-shape devices, for which a rapid growth and demand is expected in the future. Fields of applications being considered include micro parts such as micro gears and micro connectors, micro devices such as MEMS for medical bio, optical electron, information communication, and environmental energy fields, film-surface processing for light guiding plates, diffusion plates, and micro-lens arrays, and the electroforming of mold masters for micro molding in processes such as nanoimprint lithography.
