Abstract
A 3D printing system includes a machine chassis, a build vessel, a carriage, an actuator, a build platform, and a light engine. The build vessel is supported by the machine chassis and contains a photocurable liquid. The build vessel includes a downward extending tension ring that tensions a transparent sheet and defines a datum plane. The carriage supports a glass plate and a roller. The carriage is configured to press the roller against the two opposing sides of the tension ring. The actuator is configured to vertically position an upper surface of the glass plate in two positions including (U) an upper position at which the upper surface of the glass plate is coplanar with the datum plane and (L) a lower position in which the upper surface of the glass is spaced away from the datum plane.
