    • Errata:

    • The liquid used in stereolithography 3D printing is resin, which is cured by a UV laser.
    • The resin is not always colored.
    • The laser isn’t really heating up the plate that acts as the base, it is curing the resin in order to harden the liquid.
    • It doesn’t seem like resin 3D printing needs to have structural support.
