Abstract

An additive manufacturing apparatus includes a support plate including a window. A stage is configured to hold one or more cured layers of the resin to form a component. A radiant energy device positioned on an opposite side of the support plate from the stage and operable to generate and project radiant energy in a patterned image through the window. An actuator is operably coupled with the stage and is configured to move the stage between a curing position and a removal position. The curing position can be offset from the removal position.
