A variation on material extrusion additive manufacturing where a gel consisting of a photopolymer is extruded from the print head instead of a thermoplastic. The gel is deposited on the current build layer and hardened with an ultraviolet lamp. It can be much faster than thermoplastic material extrusion.
Abbreviated as GDP.
