A vat photopolymerization project based additive manufacturing system that uses two light sources at two different frequencies to cure a olefin-based polymer resin. A blue light projector projects the desired layer geometry onto the build layer resin on a glass plate. UV Light is used to then stop the polymerization process for the material touching the glass plate to keep the build layer from adhering to the glass plate. This technology is under development by Sandia National Labs.
Abbreviated as SWOMP.
