Manufacturing process

Methodology

With stereolithography 3D printing, the part is reconstituted by successive layers of photosensitive epoxy resin, under the action of an ultraviolet laser. The laser beam scans the liquid resin surface according to the digital 3D model transmitted to the 3D printer. Once a layer of material has solidified, the platform is lowered by the thickness of the next layer, and a new section is solidified.
