FIELD: machine building.
SUBSTANCE: stereolithography machine (1) includes: a supporting frame (2), a bath (3) for liquid substance storage, a baseplate (4) connected to the supporting frame (2) and meant to hold the bath (3), a locking mechanism (5) for firm fastening of the bath (3) on the baseplate (4) in nonoperating position, a radiating device (6) for the direction of specified electromagnetic radiation (6a) to the bath (3), a bath (3) movement mechanism (7) functionally connected to the baseplate (4) by the first drive unit (8) aimed at moving the bath (3) in relation to the baseplate (4) along the prespecified motion path. The locking mechanism (5) comprises the second drive unit (17) which is used to set the locking mechanism (5) in active position to fix the bath (3) and in nonoperating position to release the bath (3).
EFFECT: longer service life of a bath along with keeping the geometrical characteristics of three-dimensional articles being formed.
