Abstract
A three dimensional printing system includes a vertical support, a support plate, a resin vessel, a carriage, and a support fixture. The support plate has a proximal end affixed to the vertical support and extends along a first lateral axis to a distal end. The resin vessel is supported by the support plate and has a rear side that is proximate to the proximal end of the support plate. The resin fluid outlet is supported over the rear side of the resin vessel. The carriage is configured to be translated vertically along the vertical support. A pair of fixture receiving arms extend from the carriage along the first lateral axis from a proximal to a distal end. The fixture receiving arms are spaced apart along a second lateral axis that is perpendicular to the first lateral axis. The support fixture is supported by the two fixture receiving arms.
