Stereolithography

Abstract

Microstereolithography is a technology that is based on the same manufacturing principle as stereolithography. Three-dimensional (3D) objects are built by the superimposition of many layers, each being produced by a light-induced space-resolved photopolymerization of a liquid resin. As the resolution of microstereolithography is far better than other rapid prototyping techniques, this technique creates interest in both the rapid prototyping domain, where it can be used to produce high-resolution prototypes, but also in the microengineering field, as it is clearly the microfabrication process that can produce small objects with the most complicated shapes and intricate details.
