MakersGround developed Gomicron’s 3D printing system across mechanical design, PCB electronics, firmware and control, slicing software, prototyping and manufacturing. The engineering work connects the physical printer with its printing tray, preparation software and UV curing hardware.
Challenge
A resin printing product needs its mechanical assembly, electronics and software to work as one system. Gomicron’s development brought the printer, printing tray, print-preparation environment and curing unit into a complete product workflow.
Solution
The system uses DLP resin printing with a dedicated tray and a separate UV curing unit. Its software environment provides slicing, support generation and shape analysis. MakersGround’s contribution covered the engineering of the physical products and the software that supports their operation.
Mechanical Engineering
MakersGround handled mechanical design for the printer system and related hardware. The development material includes printer, tray and curing-unit models, alongside photographs of assembled printer hardware. These artifacts show how the product moved from designed assemblies into physical prototypes.
Electronics and PCB Development
MakersGround developed the custom electronics and PCB work for Gomicron. The original project record includes a custom-board layout and assembled electronics. This work connects the product’s hardware with the firmware and control functions needed to operate the machine.
Embedded Software and Control
MakersGround handled firmware and control as part of the printer’s development. This discipline sits between the electronic hardware and the machine’s physical operation, and was developed alongside the mechanical assembly and product software.
Print-Preparation Software
The Gomicron software environment includes slicing, support generation and shape analysis. A development screenshot shows a model arranged on a virtual printing tray with adjustable support settings. MakersGround’s scope included this slicing-software work as part of the broader printing system.
Printing Tray and Curing Hardware
The product material names the tray approach Zero Peeling Force (ZPF) and describes a dedicated silicone-Teflon membrane tray. A separate M-Curer applies UV exposure to printed resin parts, completing the product workflow alongside the printer and preparation software.
Prototyping and Manufacturing
MakersGround’s work extended through prototypes and manufacturing. The project material shows a physical printer in a workbench environment, curing hardware, and a print at the machine tray. These records document the physical development stage alongside the software and CAD artifacts.
