Abstract
A manufacturing system carries out a method for additively manufacturing ophthalmic devices, and includes a tank filled with a predetermined material, a single curing device for curing volumes of the predetermined material to harden layers of the ophthalmic devices, a layering device for layering volumes of the predetermined material onto harden layers of the ophthalmic devices. The manufacturing system includes building platforms movable relative to the tank and on which are supported the ophthalmic devices. The number of building platforms is determined by the predetermined material, curing time for the single curing device to cure a volume of the predetermined material, and a layering time for the layering device to provide a volume of the predetermined material to form a subsequent layer for hardening, so the layering device and the single curing device perform respectively curing and layering simultaneously on layers from different ophthalmic devices.
