Original Abstract Submitted

a photopolymer resin multiport vacuum chamber capable of holding vacuum down to a level below 30 mtorr in a range of temperatures near room temperature of 300 k and 2 mtorr at low temperatures of 2 k and the manufacturing method using vat photopolymerization additive manufacturing techniques are the subject of protection in the following invention patent application. safety issues solutions for uses with pressurized gasses are considered. the vacuum chamber presents one or several vacuum ports that are compatible with kf and/or iso standard fittings, so it is easily connected with kf/iso standard transfer lines and vacuum ports in addition to a pressure safety release valve. it also includes a port for easy adhesion to standard pvc piping and/or metal tubing
