Analysis on the Influence Factors of the Stereolithography Fabrication Time

Stereolithography is a novel fabrication process based on and developed by layer manufacturing,and the fabrication time of the prototyping parts is one of the key issues during manufacturing.The time mainly comprises of two parts,one is the scanning time to cure liquid resin,and the other is the auxiliary time to assure normal fabrication process whose decrease helps to the shortening fabrication time.The choice of the fabrication direction is another main influence factor,and suitable direction can cut down the time greatly.The scanning parameters affects the fabrication efficiency and large hatch space is going to shorten the reciprocating distance during the scanning,attaining the aim to reduce the prototyping time.
