Protocol RL-204 // Stefan Adhesion & Hydrodynamics

Vat Peel Force &
Stefan Adhesion Estimator

Calculate hydrodynamic suction forces (Fpeel ∝ μ · A² · v / h³) between cured resin layers and FEP/ACF vat films to prevent support tearing, layer separation, and film puncturing.

1. Vat Release Film Interface

2. Resin Viscosity & Vat Temperature

3. Layer Cross-Section & Lift Velocity

Peel Force Assessment

Peel Tension Force7.2 N(0.73 kgf)
Min Support Tip Dia0.35mmContact point

Safe

Light to Medium supports (0.35mm–0.45mm tips) will withstand peel tension.

Recommended Slicer TSMC (Two-Stage Motion):
Stage 1 Lift (Slow Separation):2.8 mm @ 60 mm/min
Stage 2 Lift (Fast Clearance):5.3 mm @ 210 mm/min
Rest After Retract:1.5 – 2.0 s (Vat Refill)
