Assessing the Post-Processing Effect on the Dimensional Accuracy of Additive-Manufactured Surgical Stents
UV curing and IPA cleaning maintained close dimensional integrity, making them suitable for applications where both accuracy and material strength are needed. Autoclave sterilization, however, introduced considerable dimensional changes, suggesting the need for alternative sterilization methods for high-precision dental stents.
