    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for multi-scale stereolithography. The apparatus includes a light source for providing a laser beam having a first shape and a first size. The apparatus includes a dynamic aperture having multiple apertures that are of the same or different sizes or shapes. The dynamic aperture is configured to receive the laser beam and modify at least one of the shape or the size of the laser beam. The apparatus includes a platform for holding an object to be printed. The apparatus includes a processor connected to at least one of the light source, the dynamic aperture or the platform. The processor is configured to move the platform to direct the laser beam or direct the laser beam to cure resin onto the object to be printed using a first aperture of the multiple apertures to form the object.

    Abstract: A sliding window is used in a projection-based stereolithographic process to more quickly deliver uncured resin after each curing pass. The sliding window may be configured in different patterns, and includes features for delivering resin and exposing resin to curing radiation. The window screen divides the stereolithographic building area divided into two portions, a light exposure portion for resin curing and a liquid resin refilling portion. The light exposure portion is used to selectively solidify liquid resin, while the liquid resin refilling portion is used to quickly refill liquid resin in order to build additional layers. During the layer fabrication process, a mask image is projected to the tank; however, the projection light only passes through the light exposure portion of the window screen.
