Additive manufacturing as an industrial production tool of polymer parts requires outstanding precision and surface quality of the printed objects in combination with good mechanical and thermal material properties. For this, current technologies often provide only insufficient solutions. Cubicure developed the hot lithography technology which allows the processing of high‐performance photopolymers in outstanding precision.
