Could multiple projectors (at e.g., 120 or 90 degree angles) be used to speed the process further?

- IshKebab 8y agoYes.
- jfoutz 8y agofurthermore, multiple projectors could increase resolution. if there's an energy threshold to overcome to cause hardening, and if you can arrange for 2 sources to just barely exceed that threshold, then you could have very crisp prints. chemistry is statistical though. you can exceed the threshold, but nothing happens because you get unlucky with some fraction of the light. You don't exceed the threshold, but you catch a bad reflection and harden stuff you don't want. and there's probably not a crisp threshold for hardening. it's more likely just time under light. But i think you're right. two projectors at half power (let's pretend it's linear), with the projections 90 degrees out of phase, i think the print quality would go way way up.
