Three-dimensional printing resin on different textile substrates using stereolithography: A proof of concept
Timo Grothe, Bennet Brockhagen, Jan Lukas Storck
Abstract
The combination of textiles and three-dimensional printing offers a wide range of research and application areas, but only publications in combination with fused deposition modeling processes can be found so far. In this article the possibility of printing resin directly on textiles in the stereolithography process is presented. A broad spectrum of textiles and surfaces is examined to clearly present the feasibility. It was found that printing directly on most textiles can be performed without major difficulties, while problems were only observed on smooth surfaces and coatings on textiles.
