Claim 17:
18. An apparatus for separating excess resin from at least one object, comprising:
a collection vessel;
a rotor in the collection vessel and configured to receive at least one carrier platform having at least one object thereon and to spin about a vertical axis of rotation with said at least one carrier platform connected thereto such that excess resin from said at least one object is removed and optionally received in the collection vessel; and
one or more spray nozzles on said collection vessel and configured to spray a solvent on said excess resin to reduce the viscosity thereof while said rotor spins with said at least one carrier platform connected thereto,
wherein each said carrier platform comprises a planar build surface to which said at least one object is connected, and
said rotor is configured to receive each said carrier platform with said planar build surface facing away from said axis of rotation.
