Abstract

Methods and apparatus for additive manufacture of an article corresponding with an energy transmissibility image. The article may include a contact lens or intraocular lens. The improvements are directed to repeated application of a monomer according to a pattern corresponding with the energy transmissibility image, such as grayscale image. The method may include intermittent pinning of deposited polymerizable mixture, partial cure, and final cure of the deposited polymerizable mixture. A pattern of multiple defined areas may be manufactured, with each area representing an amount of energy transmissibility associated with that area.
