Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9320993A1] Methods and apparatus are disclosed for the production of high precision large scale, micro and mini structures (24) using three-dimensional stereolithography. The objects (24) formed using these methods have minimal stress between layers and low curl distortion. The objects also have low warpage because no post-cure treatment is necessary. The methods include the use of elevated pressure, elevated temperature, or sequential polymerization of polymer precursor fluid (10), or a combination of these, in the three-dimensional stereolithographic process.
