-===== About =====
+The **MONO3MZ2** is a research-grade DLP (Digital Light Processing) 3D printer that focuses on high-resolution, multi-wavelength printing.
-The **MONO3VZ2** by MonoPrinter is a research-grade, high-intensity DLP (Digital Light Processing) 3D printer designed for extreme customization and advanced material science applications.
+While the "VZ" model you looked at previously is often configured for "Extreme High Intensity," the MZ is the standard multi-wavelength workhorse of the Mono3 series. It is specifically designed for material science, allowing researchers to trigger different chemical reactions within the same print using various light wavelengths.
+Core Capabilities
-Unlike consumer resin printers that use a single UV wavelength, the VZ series has two high power LEDs 365 nm and 460 nm that can be used sequentially.
+**Multi-Wavelength Light Engine:** The printer supports three versatile lighting configurations: dual-wavelength UV (365/405 nm) or hybrid UV-Visible modes, combining either 365 nm or 405 nm with RGB output..
-**Core Capabilities**
-**Multi-Wavelength System:** This is the standout feature. It can be configured with up to 2 LED channels, allowing you to use different wavelengths (typically between **365nm (UV)** and **460 nm (blue)**. This is critical for research involving dual-wavelength curing or complex chemical reactions.
-**High Intensity:** It is marketed as an "Extreme High Intensity" printer, providing significantly more power than standard machines to handle specialized or "slow" resins that require more energy to polymerize.
-**Vat Photopolymerization:** It uses DLP technology, meaning it projects a 2D image of each layer all at once, leading to faster build speeds compared to laser-based SLA printers.
 **Technical Specifications**
 **
-XY Resolution:** Variable, typically ranging from 25 µm to 70 µm depending on the configuration.
+XY Resolution:** Variable between 30 µm and 70 µm.
-**Z-Precision:** Highly accurate motor-driven movement, with a resolution of 5 µm to 25 µm.
+**Z-Precision:** Highly precise motor-driven movement with 5 µm increments.
+**
+Build Volume:** 134 x 76 x 125 mm (Total volume of 1.27 Liters).
-Build Volume: Approximately 134 x 76 x 125 mm (1.27 liters).
+**Light Intensity:** Generally ranges between 10 – 30 mW/cm².
-Connectivity: Equipped with USB and Wireless connectivity (powered by a Raspberry Pi).
-Software: Controlled via MonoWare, a proprietary slicer that allows for granular control over print recipes, shutter timing, and sensor monitoring.
