Abstract:
A method of making a three-dimensional object, including the steps of: (a) providing a carrier platform; (b) producing the three-dimensional object adhered to the carrier platform; (c) immersing the object in a wash liquid with the object remaining adhered to the carrier platform; (d) agitating the object in the wash liquid and/or the wash liquid with the object immersed therein to at least partially remove residual resin from the object; (e) separating the object from the wash liquid, with the object remaining adhered to the carrier platform; (f) agitating the object at least partially remove residual wash liquid; and (g) repeating steps (c) through (f) at least once to remove additional polymerizable resin, steps (c) through (f) are carried out in the same vessel, the immersing step (c) includes filling the vessel with the wash liquid, and the separating step (e) includes draining the wash liquid from the vessel.
