Optimization of SLA 3D-printing: structure-property relationships

提出的工作将寻求提高对**NewPro3D新型高速立体光刻（SLA） 3D打印机中结构-性能-处理关系的理解。由于SLA打印中有大量可用的加工参数，因此寻找最佳打印条件以实现准确，高效和高性能的零件是具有挑战性的。在这个项目中，UBC/NewPro3D团队将合作，更深入地了解SLA打印过程中的固化程度与使用NewPro3D创新的高速打印技术制造的零件的最终机械性能之间的关系。由NewPro3D打印**的部件将在UBC根据其打印结构（特别是其**固化程度）进行表征，然后进行机械测试以评估性能。这项工作的结果将有助于进一步**优化NewPro3D的产品及其吸引投资和未来客户的潜力。

The proposed work will seek to improve understanding of the structure-property-processing relationships in**NewPro3D's new high-speed stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer. Owing to the large number of processing**parameters available in SLA printing, finding optimal print conditions for achieving accurate, efficient and**high performance parts is challenging. In this project the UBC/NewPro3D teams will collaborate to develop a**deeper understanding of the relationship between degree of cure during SLA printing and the final mechanical**properties of parts manufactured using NewPro3D's innovative high speed printing technologies. Parts printed**by NewPro3D will be characterized at UBC in terms of their as-printed structure (particularly their degree of**cure) then subjected to mechanical testing to assess performance. The results of this work will help to further**optimize NewPro3D's product and their potential for attracting investment and future clients for their product.
