there is no structural support from the material during the build phase ,where support is given
from the unbound material support structures will often need to be added
. Resins are cured using a process of photo polymerisation or UV light, where the light is directed
across the surface of the resin with the use of motor controlled mirrors. Where the resin comes
in contact with the light, it cures or hardens
requires support structures and post curing for the part to be strong
The process of photo polymerisation can be achieved using a single laser and optics
caused defects such as air gaps, which need to be filled with resin in order to achieve a high
quality model.
Typically large build areas: objet 1000: 1000 x 800 x 500 and max model weight of 200
kg
Disadvantages:
Relatively expensive
Often requires support structures and post curing for parts to be strong enough for
structural use
