Summary
This project will improve the fabrication precision of volume additive manufacturing by controlling residual stress through improved CAD tools, mechanical modeling, and materials. Volume additive manufacturing is a relatively new polymer additive manufacturing method that projects hundreds of three-dimensional light fields into a container of photosensitive resin. These light fields overlap within the resin, solidifying the part by exceeding a total exposure threshold in the desired shape. This process is orders of magnitude faster and provides better material uniformity than traditional lay
