Stereo-lithography is the manufacturing method employed across a range of products from integrated circuits to vinyl posters. Essentially, high powered photons are selectively bombarded on certain photo-sensitive materials to induce bonding.
In the 3D printing world, this method is uncommon but rapidly gaining in popularity. From various open sourced projects, and a few professional products, the general approach involves utilizing a high luminal intensity HD DLP projector on a thin bed of UV curable photopolymer resins to create high-fidelity layers whose thickness and strength depends on exposure times. The build stage is subsequently raised to make room for the next layer. The process is repeated to create a finished 3D product.

Meetings will take place on Monday at 5pm. Looking for people with experience in CAD/git/C++/g-code especially. People that are willing to learn are welcome too.
AIAA hopes to have a functional product by the end of the Spring semester, 2017. We are looking for self learner individuals to help assist in CAD, programming, and machining. Email project lead Danny Nichols for any general questions: enichols25@knights.ucf.edu
