Abstract
Methods for controlling post-processing operations are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes detecting that a plurality of partially cured items have been loaded into a spin station. The plurality of partially cured items can be fabricated from a polymeric resin using a layer-by-layer build process. The method can also include controlling operation of the spin station. The operation can include rotating the plurality of partially cured items on a motor-driven platform so as to separate uncured polymeric resin from the plurality of partially cured items, and collecting the uncured polymeric resin separated from the plurality of partially cured items.
