Claim 19:
20. The method of claim 19:
wherein accessing the material profile comprises accessing the material profile that predicts:
horizontal polymerization of the material at a first rate proportional to exposure energy; and
vertical polymerization of the material at a second rate, less than the first rate, proportional to exposure energy; and

wherein defining the first interior model volume and calculating the first exposure energy comprise:
calculating a slope of the first upward-facing surface;
calculating the first exposure energy proportional to the slope;
calculating the first three-dimensional polymerization geometry based on the first exposure energy; and
locating the first model volume to position the first three-dimensional polymerization geometry tangent to the first upward-facing surface.
