Abstract

A 3D printing system includes a vat containing a liquid photopolymer resin and a rigid base on which an object is configured to be printed. A control arm connected to the rigid base is configured to move the rigid base relative to the vat. A first light source is configured to emit light to the vat to form the object on the rigid base. A second light source is configured to emit light on the object externally of the liquid photopolymer resin in the vat to cure the object.
