Notes:
In rapid prototyping (RP) technologies, curing of UV-curable photopolymers ismainly achieved by the application of laser scanning with limited fabrication speed.The dynamic masking approach can improve the fabrication speed; however, currentresearches and available systems cure photopolymers with visible light rather than UVlight. In this research, we have attempted to develop a UV dynamic masking RPsystem by implementing digital micro-mirror device (DMD) from digital lightprocessing (DLP) technology and TFT liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. A DLPprojector was disassembled and the main components were then recombined to form adynamic mask generator. Thus, this study has shown the feasibility of obtaining a UVdynamic masking RP system that may be integrated for a UV-curable materialprocessing
