SYSTEMS FOR SELECTIVE POST-CURING OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED OBJECTS

Abstract: systems for manufacturing objects are provided herein. in some embodiments, a system includes at least one sensor and at least one energy source configured to output energy. the system can further include a processor and a memory operably coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations including receiving, from the at least one sensor, sensor data of an additively manufactured dental appliance having a plurality of appliance portions. the operations can further include determining, based on the sensor data, a location of a subset of the appliance portions on the additively manufactured dental appliance. the operations can further include applying the energy from the at least one energy source to the subset of the appliance portions so as to selectively modify one or more material properties of the subset of the appliance portions.
