AB  - In recent years, Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become an increasingly popular method in industrial
applications for fabricating components with complex geometries, offering several benefits over traditional
(subtractive) manufacturing methods. Among all available AM technologies, ‘‘vat photopolymerization’’ is still
a reliable approach for manufacturing high-resolution components at relatively small costs. This particular
AM technology is based on the photopolymerization process where 3D objects are created by light-induced
solidification and it has been broadly developed and used in the past decades. Depending on the employed
light source there are three different subtypes of this technology, namely: SLA, DLP, and mSLA. Among all
three listed, the Masked Stereolithography Apparatus (mSLA) technology has emerged as a promising approach
due to the much simpler AM machine construction compared to the other two. However, the mechanical
properties of mSLA components have not been studied extensively, hence there is a lack of knowledge of
how AM process parameters and post-processing treatments affect the final mechanical properties of mSLA
components. This work presents an experimental investigation of the compressive and flexural mechanical
responses of components produced through this relatively new AM technology. A series of static and cyclic
tests were conducted with varying layer thickness and post-curing times. It is demonstrated that a thorough
optimization of the mentioned variables is required to obtain parts with the desired mechanical properties.
