Photopolymerization
The process whereby light energy converts monomers into a polymer.
Platform
The perforated base on which parts are built by the SLA system.
Platform locators
Features that secure and position the edges of the platform.
Platform supports
L-shaped brackets that support the platform and attach it to the elevator.
Polymer
A material built up from a series of smaller units (monomers). The molecular size of the polymer
helps to determine the mechanical properties of the plastic material.
Polymerization
The process of linking small molecules (monomers) into larger molecules (polymers) comprised of
many monomer units.
Post-Curing Apparatus (PCA) and ProCure equipment
A device which generates ultraviolet energy used to cure green stereolithographic parts.
