  • Publication number: 20260138328
    Abstract: A method for processing an optically reactive material, particularly for manufacturing or structuring of an object. The method can include optically processing a starting material in a working volume by irradiating light of a first wavelength and light of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, wherein at least one material property of the starting material is changed by the optical processing. The optical processing can include irradiating a first partial volume of the working volume at least partially filled with the starting material using the light of the first wavelength; irradiating the first partial volume of the working volume using the light of the second wavelength, wherein the light of the second wavelength is projected into the working volume; and irradiating a second partial volume of the working volume at least partially filled with the starting material, which is different from the first partial volume.
