Fig. 1 — Anatomy of a DLP-SLA 3D printer: (A) Build platform for containing printed objects, a resin tray to house the printing resin, turning mirror to guide the light projection and optical engine as light source. (B) Close-up of an object being 3D printed through a bottom-up approach (‘bat’ configuration) by cured resin along a plane where the x-, y-resolution is determined by the pixel resolution of the light source and the z-resolution is determined by the optical penetration depth through the resin.
