Advanced Additive Manufacturing Technologies: DLP Printing
This lecture covers the advanced additive manufacturing technique of DLP printing using continuous wave light for 3D printing. Topics include object spatial resolution factors, review of DLP 3D printing process, absorption coefficients, resin parameters, radical chain polymerization, photoinitiators, monomers, reaction kinetics, and simulation with oxygen inhibition. The lecture also discusses the role of oxygen, continuous liquid interface production (CLIP), and new developments in the field. Various concepts such as chemical components in resin, photopolymerization, and polymerization threshold are explored in detail.
