UK company Photocentric invented 3D LCD printing. The LC Magna 3D printer represents the pinnacle of their product development to date


Photocentric are leading the way in helping businesses evolve via 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing.

We have been successful in bridging the gap between prototyping and injection moulding for clients from all industries, using LCD screen technology for 3D printing- the concept we invented.

Whether trialling new products, looking to begin rapid production whilst waiting on tooling, producing on a lower volume, looking for a speedy go to market response, or delivering bespoke products, Photocentric has been able to assist with the production needs of our clients.

If you are looking for a printer to support your production or specialist 3D printing assistance, we can help.

To support our award-winning 3D printers, our in-house chemists have developed a range of 3D printing materials to suit the needs of various industries. Our resins are also compatible with other common printer manufacturers.

Preliminary Details

LC Magna

The only 3D printer in the world that can deliver significant speed, volume and cost savings to your business today

• Large Build Volume: 510 x 280 x 350mm
• Print speeds of 13.3mm/hour enabling large volumes of parts to be printed quickly, accurately and consistently (3-8 seconds per layer curing time printed at 100μm, depends on resin).
• Complemented by a range of Photocentric and third-party high performance Daylight resins, LC Magna delivers an unbeatable value proposition
• Daylight light frequencies mean the screen is not a consumable item. Tested to over 10,000 hours.
• Air assist uses air pressure to flex the bottom of the vat, greatly reducing separation forces. This mean delicate models are possible without damage, and vat film lasts longer
• Works from USB-drive, Ethernet or standalone. AU Certified Wifi dongle provided
