Vat Photopolymerization

 Vat Photopolymerization

Alternative Names:
SLA™- Stereolithography Apparatus
DLP™- Digital Light Processing
3SP™- Scan, Spin, and Selectively Photocure
CLIP™ – Continuous Liquid Interface Production

Description:
A vat of liquid photopolymer resin is cured through selective exposure to light (via a laser or projector) which then initiates polymerization and converts the exposed areas to a solid part.

The first commercialized 3D printing technique uses a chemical reaction to turn liquid resin into solid plastic and is known as Vat Photopolymerization.
