One variation of a method for manufacturing a physical volumetric representation of a virtual three-dimensional object includes: receiving a series of adjacent cross-sections of the virtual three-dimensional object, including a first cross-section and a second cross-section of the virtual three-dimensional object; depositing a first layer of transparent polymer; curing a portion of the first layer of transparent polymer; with ink, printing an image of the first cross-section onto a dominant face of the first layer; depositing a second layer of transparent polymer over the first layer of transparent polymer; curing a portion of the second layer of transparent polymer; with ink, printing an image of the second cross-section onto a dominant face of the second layer according to an order of the series of cross-sections; and releasing a stack of layers including the first layer of transparent polymer and the second layer of transparent polymer from the build platform.
A method for manufacturing a physical volumetric representation of a virtual three-dimensional object, the method comprising:
method of claim 10, wherein etching the exposed dominant face of the first layer comprising irradiating the exposed dominant face of the first layer with a laser beam to create an array of pores in the first layer at a depth less than a thickness of the first layer.
A method for manufacturing a physical volumetric representation of a virtual three-dimensional object, the method comprising:
The method of claim 19, further comprising molding the first substrate in a transparent polymer defining an array of pores across a dominant face.
