Peopoly Moai 200 3D printer

The Moai 200 is an SLA professional 3D printer. It is shipped fully assembled and is really simple to use and maintain. No particular skills are required to tinker with it. Unlike its predecessor, the Moai 3D printer, it showcases some practical upgrades such as an enlarged build volume, advanced laser precision, and an FEP film based Vat. It matches the final quality of high-end industrial printers at a far lower price. Moai printers are also backed by a large, active support community. It’s successfully used in prototyping and small-scale manufacturing. For example, it was used by designers, researchers and makers to print sculpts, little animals, fossils and dental implants.

Print quality

The Moai 200 is an SLA 3D printer that can print layers at 10 microns. This way you can produce parts with smooth exterior surfaces. It is equipped with a redesigned, perforated build plate. The new bed minimizes the peel force and improves adhesion ensuring consistent quality on both super-sized and small prints. With its 70-micron laser beam, the Moai 200 enables high-definition results even in the outer zone of the print area. It also gives you complete access to all laser and exposure settings for full control over your prints.

Printer controls

The printer is controlled via a color LCD screen with a scroll wheel.

3D models can be printed from computer via SD card.

The printer comes with a proprietary, feature-rich slicer, Peopoly Asura. Thanks to its open nature, it also works with the main open and 3rd party slicing software just like the Cura one. Whatever the program, you only have to prepare and print your 3D files via G-Code. The software is available for Windows, Mac Os X and Linux.
