The movie clips below show an actual prototype being built or grown on the Stereo Lithography Apparatus. This process is often called a "build". The video clips feature a complete "build" in time-lapse fashion lasting about one minute whereas in reality the build; may have taken over 20 hours. We recommend you view these clips to gain a better understanding of what is actually happening during a "build". Click on any of the graphics below to view a short video clip of the stereolithography process. You will need Real Player to view these movie clips. |

After
the wiper blade has determined the layer thickness of resin, the laser
cures the resin forming one slice of the model. |
|
|
When
the model is complete it rises from the vat and excess resin is allowed
to drain off. |

|
The
SLA model seen here rising from the vat is dried and cured in an ultra-violet
oven before being checked against the original 3D CAD image. |
