Photochemistry and Photophysics of the Hydroxyfluorones and Xanthenes.
Abstract
Laser initiated photopolymerization opened the doors for the rapid prototyping revolution. Driven by computer control, the polymerization process can create plastic models which conform accurately to a programmed design in three dimensions. The control programs may be derived from various sources including CAD files, CT scans or other tomographic medical imaging sources such as MRI in a process called 'stereolithography'. Models formed by stereolithography conform concisely to a design pattern in all dimensions, and the process has shortened the time required for implementation from months to days in industries ranging from automotive and glass to medical devices.
