Abstract

In the microstereolithography which can make 3-D microstructures, curing depth is different according to exposure energy. Curing depth has to be controlled to fabricate complex 3-D microstructures with overhang shape. It becomes increases when the exposure energy increases. And photocurable resin is cured when the exposure energy is bigger than critical energy. So optimal exposure energy has to be found to fabricate overhang structures without being gel. To make thinner layer, UV absorber is used and exposure pattern is changed. In this paper, we find curing characteristics according to exposure energy, and fabricate microstructures with overhang shape.
