  • Perforated print platform: This might be the first one to use such print platform, it helps with the adhesion of print, resin drips, etc.
  • Resin level detect: equipped with a level sensor on the side of the vat. The G6 is capable of detecting levels of resin for your on going print. It will help you know if the volume is sufficient for the print.
  • Dual Z linear rail guide: a feature that makes printing and z movement stable to its smallest resolution.
  • Matrix UV light:High quality quartz lamp bead and matrix design for uniform UV light energy
