Patent ID: 11141909

Abstract:
Additive manufacturing device for manufacturing a three dimensional object, having a foil substrate (2) and a resin depositor (4) for depositing a layer of curable resin (6) on a first side (2a) of the foil substrate (2), wherein the resin depositor (4) comprises an input side resin storage unit (5). A radiation source (10) is present for radiation curing the resin layer (6) on the first side (2a) of the foil substrate (2), wherein a cured resin layer (6) represents a cross sectional slice of a three dimensional object (12). A stage (9) is configured to hold a stacked arrangement of one or more cured resin layers representing at least in part the three dimensional object (12), and a positioning system is provided for relative positioning the foil substrate (2) and the stage (9). A resin conditioning unit (16) is provided upstream from the input resin storage unit (5).
