Abstract
A three-dimensional printing system for fabricating a three-dimensional article includes a resin vessel, a motorized build plate, an imaging bar, and a movement mechanism. The resin vessel is for containing a photocurable resin, the photocurable resin having an upper resin surface. The motorized build plate is for supporting the three-dimensional article in the photocurable resin. The imaging bar includes a plurality of light emitting devices arranged along a transverse axis for emitting light generally downwardly and a transparent sheet disposed below the plurality of light emitting devices. The transparent sheet has a lower surface to contact the resin and define a build plane below the upper surface of the resin. The movement mechanism is for imparting movement of the imaging bar along a scan axis.
