Objects build orientation, positioning, and curing influence dimensional accuracy and flexural properties of stereolithographically printed resin

Additive manufacturing (AM) becomes increasingly attractive for the application in the medical field due to its capability to fabricate complex geometrical structures from printable biocompatible materials [1]. The utilization of AM methods has been widely acknowledged in dentistry for complex treatment planning [2,3], fabrication of orthodontic and bite splints [4,5] as well as surgical drill guides [6].
