Mechanical failure or collapse of temporary sub-structures during additive manufacturing processes. Ensuring structural integrity during layer deposition prevents geometric distortion and print failure.

Standard photocurable resins often fail under thermal stress due to low heat deflection temperatures. Increasing this threshold prevents structural failure in high-temperature operating environments.

Shadowed areas in complex 3D geometries or thick coatings fail to polymerize under light alone. Integrating low-temperature thermal pathways ensures structural integrity in non-line-of-sight regions.
