As part of my plan to make an open hardware Maskless Lithography Aligner I wanted to get more familiar with the Texas Instruments DLP300S/301S (digital) micromirror device (DMD). This product was created for use in 3D resin printers, which use patterned UV light to pattern photosensitive resin. I will update this blog post over time with more information, so it might be worth checking back occasionally ⏰.

In this article, I will go over about how I go about loading pdb structures into blender.
