Abstract
Light-based 3D printing techniques use patterned light, triggering polymerizations within a volume of a photoresin and yielding 3D objects. The process of printing in a vat of resin using light that varies temporally and spatially creates dynamics within the resin that ultimately influences properties of the printed part. This presentation will cover how concentration gradients and changes in miscibilities during printing causes phase separation and diffusion of species that effect the printing process. By tuning the formulations, changes in diffusitivity, viscosity and gelation rates can be control and therefore allow control over phase separation or deviations from nominal print dimensions.
