Purposeful Over Curing of Stereolithography (SLA) Printed Parts – Final Report
Abstract The purpose of this report is to examine and better understand the discoloration effect over curing has on 3D printed parts to determine what applications may exist. It is of utmost interest to find …
Project Update: Overcuring of Stereolithography (SLA) Printed Fishing Lure
Research Overview: Achieving discoloration due to the overcuring process in stereolithographic (SLA) 3D printing requires a resin that is susceptible to color change during material degradation, so research was conducted to find the correct resins …
Overcuring of Stereolithography (SLA) Printed Fishing Lure
Background: In the fishing industry, some of the most popular lures are hard plastic crankbaits and jerkbaits. Hard plastic lures are currently made from two injection molded halves that are fused together after weights and …
