utilize new machine learning methods to understand the fundamental interactions between pixels in photopolymer 3D printing. Our goal for the summer will be to make resins with unique chemical properties (Arrhenius parameters, viscosity, functional group density, reaction mechanism, etc.) and try to map some of the fit parameters that come out of the machine learning algorithm to physical/chemical properties. Ultimately we hope that this framework can enable rapid development of optimal process
