ABSTRACT:
In a solid imaging system, the beam of a relatively high-powered beam radiation source, and more particularly a laser, is modulated in accordance with its varying vector sweep speed so that substantially constant layer depth is maintained at all scanner speeds in a strip of photohardenable composition as it hardens and solidifies in response to the source's irradiation.
