FEP film

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000135

A transparent, non-stick film made from fluorinated ethylene propylene, commonly used as the bottom layer of the resin vat in bottom-up stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) 3D printers. It allows UV light to pass through while preventing the cured resin from adhering to the vat. This film is periodically replaced due to wear.
