A type of vat photopolymerization additive manufacturing where a projector under a transparent build plate shines ultraviolet light onto the build layer, which is against the transparent build plate. The part is then pulled upward so that a new layer of liquid fills between the build plate and the part, and the process is repeated. It is a continuous build process that does not create distinct layers.
It is a proprietary process owned by the company Carbon and the term has been replaced by Carbon with Digital Light Synthesis, or DLS.
Abbreviated as CLIP.
