To make an object, a photosensitive resin is illuminated from multiple angles, with the accumulation of light helping to solidify the resin. In other words, the object forms a solid structure within the resin in one go, rather than segment by segment, as is the case with traditional 3D printing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think of 3D printing, you probably imagine a structure being created layer by layer, from the bottom up.
