A multi-material microstereolithography system in which multiple photocurable resins are stored on a single glass palette was developed to produce multicolor three-dimensional (3D) models. Multiple photocurable resins with different colors are replaced by moving a linear translational X-stage that supports the glass palette. A Z-stage moves radially to remove the air bubbles that adhere around the 3D model when replacing the resins. The uncurable resin was washed out by sequentially immersing the 3D structure in two tanks containing a cleaning solvent. This makes it possible to produce multicolor 3D models without contamination of resins and air bubbles.
