Abstract
A fabrication system comprising a chamber containing an immersion liquid, a reservoir comprising a curable liquid being immiscible with said immersion liquid, the reservoir in fluid communication with a port configured for transferring the curable liquid into said chamber; an actuator configured for being in operable communication with said reservoir; a support configured for binding said curable liquid and in operable communication with said port. Further, a method for manufacturing a cured article with a predetermined shape is provided.
Claims8
A fabrication system comprising:
- a chamber containing an immersion liquid when the fabrication system is in operation;
- a port adapted for being in fluid communication with a reservoir comprising a curable liquid;
- an actuator in operable communication with said reservoir and configured to induce flow of said curable liquid towards said port;
- a support in operable communication with said port, wherein said support is configured for binding said curable liquid;
- a control unit configured to control said actuator to induce flow of a predetermined volume of said curable liquid towards said port, so as to provide said curable liquid in contact with said support;
- wherein said predetermined volume is sufficient for shaping an article immersed within said immersion liquid and comprising at least one surface with a pre-defined curvature;
- wherein the control unit is configured to:
- (i) receive said pre-defined curvature;
- and
- (ii) control said actuator to induce flow of the predetermined volume of the curable liquid according to the received pre-defined curvature.
