Thermal three-dimensional lithography in thermoset resins using CO2 laser. Scarparo, M., A., F.; Barros, M., L.; Kiel, A., E.; and Gerck, E. In volume 2125, pages 355-362, 1994.
Website abstract bibtex This work presents a new method to produce 3D structures, using a CO2 laser and thermosensitive resins. This method is called thermal stereolithography and is based on the spatially selective thermal curing of a resin, a filling material and a catalyst. The results obtained with a physical model for the resin system indicates that filling material must be added to control a pressure wave that is thermally induced. A resolution of 0.1 mm was achieved for epoxy and polyester resins. The successive layering of a laser scanned spot can produce 3D solid structures out of a high viscosity liquid.
