Absence of printed features in resin-based additive manufacturing indicates a failure in the photopolymerization process. Numerous factors, ranging from machine settings to environmental conditions, can contribute to this outcome. Diagnosing the specific cause is essential for effective troubleshooting and achieving successful prints.
Identifying and rectifying the reasons for print failure saves time, resin material, and potential damage to the printer. A systematic approach to investigation, addressing potential issues with resin composition, exposure parameters, hardware functionality, and environmental factors, leads to improved print success rates and greater overall efficiency in the additive manufacturing workflow. This impacts cost-effectiveness and project timelines.
