Abstract

The Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has emerged as a novel paradigm that uses the method of gradual accumulation of materials to manufacture solid parts, which is a “bottom-up” approach compared to the traditional cutting technology. Among available techniques, Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) f...
