Abstract
In a method for solidifying a photopolymerizable, diffusely reflecting material by irradiation, wherein the material coats a transparent material confining element, such as a material support or a tank bottom, and the irradiation of a surface to be solidified is performed through the transparent material confining element into the material, a) the thickness of the material confining element and b) the coated surface and/or the construction field and/or the surface to be solidified of the material are adapted to one another such that the thickness of the material confining element is at least ¼, preferably at least ⅓, preferably at least ½, of the diameter of the coated surface, or the surface to be solidified, or the construction field, respectively.

A method for solidifying a photopolymerizable, diffusely reflecting material by irradiation, wherein the material coats a transparent material confining element, and the irradiation of a surface to be solidified is performed through the transparent material confining element into the material,
- wherein a) a thickness of the material confining element and b) at least one of a coated surface, a construction field, and a surface to be solidified of the material are adapted to one another such that the thickness of the material confining element is at least ¼ of at least one of a diameter of the coated surface, the surface to be solidified, and the construction field, respectively.
A device for solidifying a photopolymerizable, diffusely reflecting material by irradiation, wherein:
- a transparent material confining element, is coatable by the material and a radiation source is arranged below the material confining element for irradiating a surface to be solidified through the transparent material confining element;
- and
- the thickness of the material confining element and the coatable surface, are adapted to each other such that the thickness of the material confining element corresponds to at least ¼ of the diameter of the coatable surface.
