Abstract
A three-dimensional object printer uses stereolithography to form a structure and then embed one or more objects in the structure. The printer includes a controller that operates a source of ultraviolet (UV) radiation to cure a portion of a liquid photopolymer at an interface between the liquid photopolymer and the external surface of an embedded object with reference to a meniscus formed between the liquid photopolymer and the external surface of an embedded object. The incorporation of the embedded object speeds formation of the final object and increases the durability of the final object.
