Special features: integrated UV sensor
You can use almost every projector with this light curing 3D printer. With many other DLP-based printers on the market, however, you have to do many test with before you can find the exact layer time, since every projector emits a different amount of UV light, that is what cures the resin.

With LumiFold, an integrated UV sensor measures the exact UV light level of your projector and automatically adjusts the layer time. Less time experimenting means less time wasting you precious light–curing resin, and this is isn’t bad, isn’t it?
Special features: flexibility and low-cost design oriented
The LumiFold also has interchangeable building platforms with an engraved grid, so you can also automatically adjust the projection for an accurate and correct size of your 3d printed parts.
Unlike other DLP printers, the LumiFold places the projector over the printer: this lets you use almost every container as resin basin, you don’t need expensive UV-transparent glass or Plexiglas, and you don’t have to apply many coats of anti sticking coating to avoid the container become unusable after a few prints.
For the first tests, we even use small plastic coffee cups! And this was perfect for building small parts and using small amounts of resin, and also keeps the printer costs down.

What you'll also love: every part of the Lumifold has been carefully designed, tested and re-designed until it worked as we initially thought: from the magnetic closure system, to the UV sensor for calibrating the printer to your projector.
What you will get in the box...
An open source program for slicing and printing has been developed by us and is provided with the printer.
It is Pc compatible, we will also release a Mac version. In the first quarter of 2014, we will expand the compatibility to iPhone and iPad too.
At the same time, the following kits /parts will be available:
- 3D Laser scanning kit
- Travel kit with lithium battery and iPad / iPhone control kit
Available Accessories
HoloDock: 3d holographic visualization of 3d parts, or when connected to the LumiFold , shows layer printing progress.
Protective Plexiglas, UV opaque, Fluo Box for shielding the LumiFold from external light when printing.
Travel bag for the interchangeable trays, platforms and power supply.
The HoloDock

This printer is also the first one that has a 3D
holographic display that is showing the printing progress. Yes, a real
Holographic display! It is called HoloDock, and uses a clever reimagining of
the Pepper’s Ghost to create the impression of a real 3D volumetric image of
the object you are printing.
