Abstract
A method for manufacturing a deflection member is disclosed. The method may include the steps of providing an additive manufacturing apparatus that includes at least one radiation source and a vat containing a photopolymer resin, providing a reinforcing member, contacting a surface of the reinforcing member with the photopolymer resin, and directing radiation from the at least one radiation source towards a surface of the reinforcing member to at least partially cure photopolymer resin in contact with the surface of the reinforcing member to create at least a portion of a lock-on layer.
Claims9
A method for manufacturing a deflection member, the method comprising the steps of:
- a.) providing an additive manufacturing apparatus that comprises at least one radiation source and a vat containing a photopolymer resin;
- b.) providing a reinforcing member having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- c.) contacting at least the second surface of the reinforcing member with the photopolymer resin;
- and
- d.) directing radiation from the at least one radiation source towards the first surface of the reinforcing member such that the radiation passes through the first surface of the reinforcing member to at least partially cure photopolymer resin in contact with the second surface of the reinforcing member to create at least a portion of a lock-on layer.
