3D printed chain mail. Person holding chainmail material made using the process of stereolithography. Stereolithography (or optical fabrication) is an additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology used for producing models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts. It works by using a vat of liquid photopolymer 'resin' that hardens (cures) when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, and an ultraviolet laser to build the layers of an object one at a time. For each layer, the laser beam traces a cross-section of the part pattern on the surface of the liquid resin. Exposure to the UV laser light cures and solidifies the pattern traced on the resin and joins it to the layer below. As it progresses the solid object slowly rises out of the liquid resin
