Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/040029
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods for manufacturing objects are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a digital data set representing an object, and applying energy to a curable material based on the digital data set to form the object. The object (400) can include at least two object portions (402, 404) formed from the curable material using different energy application parameters. The method can further include removing residual curable material from the object (400). A different amount of the residual curable material can be removed from each of the at least two object portions (402, 404). After the residual curable material is removed, the at least two object portions can each have different material properties.
