Photopolymerization

Photopolymerization is a process where light is used to initiate a chemical reaction that turns liquid resins into solid materials. This is commonly used in 3D printing, dental materials, and coatings. When exposed to certain wavelengths of light, typically ultraviolet (UV), the chemical compounds in the resin react, causing them to bond together and harden. This allows for precise and quick creation of detailed objects. The process is valued for its efficiency and ability to produce strong, durable materials in various applications.
