Question: Derive a general analytical model ( equation ) for the volume build rate of a direct, vector - scan, single - laser SL process in

Derive a general analytical model (equation) for the volume build rate of a direct, vector-scan, single-laser SL process in terms of the following parameters: Effective laser spot size or cured line width on the surface (Lw); Cured layer thickness (Zr); Laser scan speed (Vs); and time per layer to configure the next layer of liquid resin, the recoating or wiper time (tw). Assume neighboring (cured) tracks in a layer are just touching (not overlapping) at the surface, but overlap about 10% maximum with the layer (tracks) below. Assume the uncured volume of resin between tracks is part of the build volume. Note that linear shrinkage (SL) is already included in the track cross-section dimensions, but not in the length direction
