The **MONO3MZ2** is a research-grade DLP (Digital Light Processing) 3D printer that focuses on high-resolution, multi-wavelength printing.

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

**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..

**Technical Specifications**
**
XY Resolution:** Variable between 30 µm and 70 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).

**Light Intensity:** Generally ranges between 10 – 30 mW/cm².

===== Safety Concerns =====

Read the manufactures manual before first use. If the Mono3VZ2 acts in a way that is not described by the manual, turn off the printer and contact the principal scientist as well as Mono at info@monoprinter.com .\\
	* Never place your finger near the machine until all parts have stopped moving. Moving parts can cause serious injury.\\
	* Never clean or service the printer while it is on.\\
	* The printer uses different LEDS. Never look directly at LED light nor expose skin. Serious injury may result from exposure.\\
	* Disassembling the printer may cause an electric shock or damage to the instrument.    Do not disassemble any parts of the printer not mentioned in the instruction manual.\\
