Abstract
Stereolithography is a high accuracy additive manufacturing process that uses a laser beam to cure photopolymer resin according to the computer-aided design file. Anisotropy in mechanical properties is one of the major challenges that are faced by additive manufacturing technologies. This study is conducted on PR 48 photopolymer samples using FORM 2 SLA printer.
