3D-Printing Plates without “Support”

When printing a plate (or dish) by an FDM 3D printer, the process normally requires support material, which causes several problems. This paper proposes a method for forming thin plates without using wasteful support material. This method requires several extraordinary parameter values when slicing plates. The experiments show that the plates can, for the most part, be successfully formed using...

Statistical analysis of printing elements reproduction on thermally developed CTP flexo printing plates

This study presents statistical evaluation of the dot area and line width on thermally developed CtP flexo printing plates using image analysis software PerfectEye v4.03. The aim of the study was to determine whether the dot area and line width when different processing parameters are applied (different main exposure time and different number of rotations of developing drum during developing pr...
