  • Patent number: 11707891
    Abstract: A method for additive manufacturing includes: at a build tray arranged over a build window and containing a resin reservoir of a resin, heating the resin reservoir toward a target bulk resin temperature less than a heat deflection temperature of the resin in a photocured state; at a resin interface between a surface of the build window and the resin reservoir, heating an interface layer of the resin reservoir toward a target reaction temperature; and, in response to the resin reservoir exhibiting a first temperature proximal the target bulk resin temperature and to the interface layer exhibiting a second temperature proximal the target reaction temperature: at the resin interface, selectively photocuring a first volume of the resin to form a first layer of a build adhered to a build platform; and retracting the build platform away from the build window.
