Abstract
Abstract Photopolymerizable resins are increasingly used to generate complex 3D printed parts through stereo lithography, digital light processing (DLP) and liquid crystal display (LCD) 3D printing. Many challenges relating to the resin chemistry and printing parameters still exist and must be addressed in order to entirely control the properties of parts after printing. This work reviews the current knowledge and describes the potential of DLP/LCD methods for printed acrylate resins, as well as the steps necessary to achieve a better control over the mechanical properties of printed materials.
