Figure 5.1: SLA printing process

Once a layer is created, the platform is raised, and model is taken out of

the resin. After creating every layer, the 3D model needs to be taken out

of resin for delaminating and recoating.

Then it must be repositioned into the resin for creation of the next layer.

So, the platform is again lowered to a depth that all layers built till then are

immersed into the resin and resin for next layer creation is available for UV

exposure.

This way each layer is created and after finishing final layer the platform is

finally raised out of the liquid resin and allowed to cool.
