Photocure

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000275

A process in additive manufacturing where liquid resins are solidified by exposure to light, typically ultraviolet (UV) light. This method is central to technologies like stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP). The light initiates a polymerization reaction, transforming the liquid photopolymer into a solid object layer by layer.
