Technology routes

P3™ DLP

P3 DLP is a photopolymer additive manufacturing process used for selected polymer applications where surface quality, material behavior, and repeatable workflow control matter. D2M helps clients assess fit before production use.

  • Photopolymer route reviewed against part purpose
  • Material behavior assessed before production planning
  • Post-processing and inspection needs defined early
  • Workflow control considered before repeat use

Process considerations

  • Helps identify where P3 fits the application instead of forcing the process.

  • Connects material behavior to tolerance, finish, and operating requirements.

  • Defines post-processing, inspection, and documentation before scale-up.

  • Supports controlled review of repeatable polymer production workflows.

How the Technology Is Assessed

P3™ DLP should be evaluated against the application, material requirement, build or measurement envelope, operating environment, post-processing needs, and inspection route.

The process route is only one part of the system. Teams also need file control, operator workflow, quality records, maintenance planning, and clear approval points before the technology becomes an operating capability.

Why the Selection Process Matters

P3™ DLP may be useful where its process characteristics match the application requirement. It should not be selected because it is available or familiar.

D2M compares candidate applications, materials, production constraints, inspection needs, and commercial assumptions before recommending a route. The result is a technology decision tied to workflow and governance, not a machine-led purchase.

Application and industry context

Relevant industries

P3 DLP can support industrial and precision polymer applications when material, throughput, inspection, and documentation requirements are defined.

Application opportunities

Candidate applications are reviewed against geometry, material behavior, tolerance needs, inspection route, and workflow readiness.
