Cure
The process of turning liquid resin into a solid by exposure to UV light.
Cure depth
The thickness or depth of a line of cured resin. The cure depth of any line is determined by the
laser beam power and distribution, laser draw speed, and resin characteristics.
Curl
A characteristic type of part deformation.
Draining
Allowing resin to drip from the finished part into the vat when the elevator is at its top position.
Drawing speed
The speed at which the laser traces over the surface of the resin to form solid plastic lines and
surfaces. The laser drawing speed varies depending on the depth of solidification requested, laser
beam power and distribution, and resin characteristics.
