stereolithography (sla)\nuse the information below to answer the question.\nstereolithography (sla) is the oldest type of 3d printing and is one of the vat\npolymerization processes. in this process, a vat is filled with liquid resin and a solid-\nstate laser is used to cure the material, layer by layer. there are two common\nconfigurations used: top - down and bottom - up.\nbottom - up printing process\nin the bottom - up version, the base of the container has a transparent bottom.\nunderneath the vat, a laser is positioned upwards, aimed to shine up through the clear\nbase. the printer uses two mirrors to aim the laser beam at specific points along the x\nand y axis, as dictated by the design program. when the light hits the resin, the\nmaterial cures onto the build plate, creating a layer. the build plate will then rise, let\nmore resin in, and then go back down. the same pattern will continue to repeat until\nthe print is complete.\nwashing and curing\nonce the form has been printed, it will need a final wash and curing. the wash will\nremove the uncured resin and a (uv) light source is used to fully harden the form. this\ncan be done manually or by using a proprietary washing and curing machine that\ncomes with most printers.\nif you do not have access to a washing and curing machine, you can manually wash the\nprints in a bin of water. after youve removed the access resin, the water should be\nplaced under a (uv) source, such as direct sunlight, to cure the leftover resin. once\nthe material has cured, you will be able to gather up the waste material and dispose of\nit properly. sunlight can also be used on your printed form to cure it for the final time.\nwhat is a necessary step when washing and curing a\nstereolithography print manually?\nleaving the print on one side while it cures\nraising the pressure exerted on the print\nusing acetone to strip the print\ndisposing the waste material properly

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text mentions that after washing and curing manually (washing in water bin to remove resin, then curing under UV source like sunlight), gathering and properly disposing of waste material is part of the process. The other options: leaving print on one side while curing isn't mentioned as a manual - washing - and - curing step; raising pressure on print isn't in the text; using acetone isn't described in the manual washing (water is used).

Answer:

disposing the waste material properly
