Inc.) for the crate only in order to separate the whole build from the platform.
This combination can be seen in Fig. 6.95. The objects were then
prepared for stereolithography in the usual manner and built on a SLA-250
using SL5220 resin.
The model was built successfully, suggesting that the fundamental

object were indeed sound. The crate structure was carefully broken away
along with the supports using a scalpel.

For the second batch, fi ve copies each of fi ve types of model were required.
The STL approach was not feasible due to the incredibly excessive size of
the fi les. Instead, contour fi les were generated from the original data in the
SLC fi le format.
