Stereolithography is an additive manufacturing process which employs a VAT of liquid curable photopolymer and a video projector to build parts’ layers one at a time. For each layer, the  beam traces a cross-section of the part pattern on the surface of the liquid resin. Exposure to the light solidifies the pattern traced on the resin and joins it to the layer below.
