(a) stereolithographically producing at least one object, each said object having at least one retention feature formed thereon, each said object carrying excess resin on a surface thereof; then
(b) mounting each said at least one object on at least one transfer frame, each said transfer frame having at least one retention member that mates with said retention feature;
(c) connecting each said transfer frame to a rotor with said at least one object carried thereon;
(d) centrifugally separating excess resin from each said object by spinning said rotor with each said transfer frame connected thereto while said at least one object remains connected to each said transfer frame by said retention feature; then
(e) removing each said transfer frame from said rotor, with excess resin separated from each said at least one object thereon,
wherein said rotor comprises a drive and a horizontal base plate connected to said drive, with each said transfer frame configured for connecting to said base plate.
