Lecture

Additive Manufacturing: Resolution and Build Speed

Description

This lecture covers the resolution of additive processes, discussing how it varies in different directions and is limited by factors like layer thickness and positioning accuracy. It also explores the build speed in additive manufacturing, proportional to the part's volume and material used. Additionally, it delves into stereolithography, detailing mechanical properties, equipment specifications, and companies involved. The lecture further examines micro-stereolithography for producing small parts, cost comparisons between SLA and injection molding, and the customization of items like hearing aids through additive manufacturing. Support structures and the advantages and disadvantages of stereolithography are also addressed.
