A shaping system and method of shaping with the shaping system. The shaping system may include a spatial light modulator. The shaping system may include a radiation source to illuminate the spatial light modulator with actinic radiation. The shaping system may include a beam splitter configured to receive actinic radiation from the spatial light modulator and emit a first image of the spatial light modulator and a second image of the spatial light modulator. The shaping system may include a beam combiner configured to receive the first image and the second image and emit a combined image. The combined image may include the first image; and the second image offset from the first image. The shaping system may include a projection system configured to receive the combined image and illuminate formable material between a template and a substrate with a projected image at a plane of the formable material.
