Initial Research Pathways
Initial research pathways: Used gAI, ChatGPT to research on the different technologies of resin 3D printing. The 3 main technology used are as follows Stereolithography (SLA) Digital Light Processing (DLP) Masked Stereolithography (mSLA) Looked up on Google Scholar for more information on stereolithography Decided to focus on Low Force Stereolithography (LFS), which is a successor to the Masked Stereolithography (mSLA). We will be looking in the perspective of an aspiring small business Looked at different industrial models of mSLA 3D printers and chose the Formlabs Form 3L as it was the most popular model in the industry Low Force Stereolithography (LFS) is an advanced form of stereolithography that minimizes tanks and a Light Processing Unit (LPU) to achieve precise layer curing with reduced peel forces. The key benefits of LFS include improved surface quality, higher accuracy, and the ability to print complex geometries with minimal support structures. This makes LFS particularly
