FabSquare: Fabricating Photopolymer Objects by Mold 3D Printing and UV Curing
2017
The FabSquare system is a personal fabrication method that lets users fabricate objects by molding photopolymers inside a 3D printed mold. The molds are printed with UV-transparent materials that allow for UV curing--the polymerization and solidification of the fluid content. The molds can be repeatedly reused to fabricate identical objects or create new objects with identical geometry, but different components. Because the necessary equipment is easily obtainable and affordable, the FabSquare approach is suitable for ordinary users in nonspecialized labs, allowing them to rapidly fabricate a range of objects. https://extras.computer.org/extra/mcg2017030034s1.mp4https://extras.computer.org/extra/mcg2017030034s2.pdf
