 The article “A Review of Stereolithography: Processes and Systems”, written by Huang et al. (2020), provides a comprehensive review of the generations of stereolithography (SLA), its representative system configurations and derivative technologies. Stereolithography, one of the three most widely used approaches to additive manufacturing, utilises ultraviolet (UV) light to cure liquid resin layers (aka Vat Photopolymerisation), thereby forming highly detailed and precise 3D objects.  Though being the earliest form of 3D printing, stereolithography has solidified itself a strong position in the additive manufacturing (AM) market, due to the combination of its accuracy and isotropic properties. According to Huang et al. (2020), the method has evolved through four significant phases, each having increasing advantages over both its previous iterations and its competitors. They consist of scanning, projection, continuous and volumetric. In that order, the speed of each iteration in...

Stereolithography has solidified itself a strong position in the additive manufacturing (AM) market due to the combination of its accuracy, isotropic properties and geometrical complexity. The article “A Review of Stereolithography: Processes and Systems”, written by Huang et al. (2020), provides a comprehensive review of the generations of stereolithography (SLA), its representative system configurations and derivative technologies. Stereolithography, one of the three most widely used approaches to additive manufacturing, utilises ultraviolet light to cure liquid resin layers (aka Vat Photopolymerisation or Photo-Solidification), thereby forming 3D objects with high precision and details. This method has evolved through four significant phases, with each having increasing advantages over its previous iterations and competitors, that thereby helps secure its spot in the 3D printing world. These iterative changes mainly consist of improvements in precision and resolution (layer thicknes...
