Abstract
A method and device of polymerization to form 3D objects is provided. The method and device incorporate an inert immiscible liquid between a liquid monomer and a light source such that the liquid monomer is polymerized when exposed to polymerization light from the light source at a liquid monomer-inert immiscible liquid interface. The liquid monomer is polymerized into a solid polymer that forms the 3D object.
