The bodies, as well as all accessories (mirrors, wheel inserts, windshield wipers, helmet, etc.) are printed with equipment based on state-of-the-art DLP technology with a Z resolution of less than 10 microns. Resin car bodies are very light considering the nature of the material and maintain a certain degree of flexibility and strength compared to molded products. Initially, this new feature will be available only for classic cars, but will gradually be extended to all production. TA71 has decided to launch a resin body option for all its 1/32 scale kits. The resolution of a printed part using a DLP 3D printer generally corresponds to the number of micromirrors within a DMD device. A DMD contains hundreds of thousands or even millions of tiny micromirrors that direct light and create the pattern of a layer at the bottom of the resin tank. It is a great evolution of the well-known and previous stereolithography (SLA) thanks to the adoption of a digital micromirror device (DMD), the 'heart' of every DLP chipset.

Cell polymerization 3D printing technologies use a photopolymer (liquid) resin that can solidify under a light source. Now go one step further by implementing the new DLP technology.ĭLP is a digital light processing and is a type of tray polymerization. More detailed description of each model will follow in the next days both here and on the new page.The Area71 SlotCars has been achieving significant penetration in the slotcar kit model market for a few years with the application of 3DP technology.

Be sure to follow us as the novelties will be a lot and not only related to slotcars, but we don't want to spoil anything now.Īs 'farewell', or better 'see you on the other side' we are proud to share with you these new models that have just been printed at the new facilities. Unlike other printing services, we are specialized in printing model parts and our machines are specifically setup for this purpose.įrom now on you can follow us on our new page: ta71modelfactory where you can find all the cars and products for sale in the shop section. Thanks to the increased printing capability TA71 will be offering also 3D printing services for third parties using the most advanced and up to date SLS powder based printers. TA71 will continue the activity of manufacturing 1/32 slotcar kits and 1/24 body kits, but not only that. The Area71 Slotcars has been incorporated into a new company: TA71.
