Design of Surface Textures for Improved Resin Replenishment During Additive Manufacturing

Current 3D printing process is done using layer by layer fashion. In contrast, a new way of production, continuous liquid interface production (CLIP), is layerless and based on vat polymerization. It provides nearly 100 times faster building speeds compared to traditional 3D printing. To eliminate the limitation, the resin flow should be speed up. This project designs models with different microgroove patterns to address this issue.
