A UV intensity meter—also known as a UV light meter or UV radiometer—is a specialized device designed to measure the strength of ultraviolet (UV) light in a given environment. In industries that rely on precise UV exposure, such as resin-based 3D printing, this tool plays a vital role in ensuring consistent and reliable output.
In the realm of 3D printing, particularly LCD based 3D printer solutions, maintaining a controlled UV environment is critical. Overexposure or underexposure can directly impact the curing process of photopolymer resins, leading to print failures or poor dimensional accuracy. That's where the UV intensity meter comes in.
At Aptus Display, we’ve developed a highly compact, efficient, and accurate UV light meter tailored specifically for 3D printer applications: the UVA405 Radiometer.

This device is engineered to test UV uniformity across the mono LCD screen of your 3D printer. Unlike generic UV meters, the UVA405 is calibrated to the 405nm wavelength—ideal for most LCD resin printers—ensuring precise measurement and actionable feedback.
Wavelength Sensitivity: Optimized for 405nm UV, the standard for LCD resin 3D printing.
Compact Form Factor: Designed to fit easily within the 3D printer’s build area.
Real-time Readings: Quickly displays UV intensity on-screen, enabling faster calibration and diagnostics.
High Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all major 3D printers using mono LCD technology.
These features make the UVA405 the perfect companion for manufacturers and DIY enthusiasts who demand accuracy and reliability in their 3D printing workflow.
As the adoption of mono LCD screens in 3D printers increases due to their higher resolution and faster curing times, ensuring uniform UV exposure becomes more critical than ever. Variations in UV intensity can lead to issues such as:
Uneven curing
Warped prints
Layer shifting
Reduced print accuracy
With a UV light meter, users can easily detect discrepancies and make necessary adjustments to the UV LED array or resin exposure settings. This enhances print consistency, extends the life of the mono LCD screen, and reduces material waste.
At Aptus Display, we are committed to delivering high-performance solutions that support the growing demands of the resin 3D printing industry. Our product portfolio doesn’t stop at UV meters—we also provide comprehensive 3D printer LCD solutions, including:
