In this study, we demonstrate the possibility of dual beam ultraviolet cross-linking via solid-state. This additive manufacturing technology is relatively new and if implemented successfully, it can provide significant advantages over conventional cross-linking techniques. The study focuses on the use of two beams of UV light to cross-link polymers and demonstrates the effectiveness of the dual beam solid-state UV cross-linking technique. The research provides important insights into the development of innovative techniques for processing polymer materials and their practical applications. Overall, the study shows the promise of dual beam solid-state UV cross-linking and its potential for advancing the field of additive manufacturing.
