Design for the reduction of volume shrinkage-induced distortion in digital light processing 3D printing

Due to its high printing resolution and fast printing speed, digital light processing (DLP) has become one of the most widely used additive manufacturing technologies. In a typical DLP printing, resin is photocured from liquid into solid accompanied by a large volume shrinkage, which often leads to shape distortion of printed structures. In this study, we investigated the volume shrinkage-induced distortion of DLP-printed parts by conducting...
