“Why the PR400i Could Be the Next Big Step in Resin 3D Printing”
In this in‑depth interview, 3Dnatives speaks with Marko Aubel, Head of Technology and R&D at Raplas, about the development journey behind the PR400i. Marko explores the motivations that led to creating the PR400i, the limitations of traditional DLP printers, and the engineering decisions that shaped the system’s unique architecture. The article highlights how the PR400i bridges the gap between high‑precision resin printing and true industrial utility.
Readers will gain insights into the machine’s key specifications, its ideal user base, and the role SmartBuild plays in enabling fully optimised, production‑ready workflows. Marko also opens up about the product development process itself—from early concepts to overcoming technical challenges—demonstrating why the PR400i represents a significant leap forward in resin‑based additive manufacturing.
