Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000389

A method of photopolymerization in vat polymerization additive manufacturing where the light source cures the resin from above the liquid surface. The build platform moves downwards into the resin vat as each layer is solidified. This approach is typical in Digital Light Processing (DLP) and Stereolithography (SLA) systems.
