Zusammenfassung:The disclosure provides a manufacturing system configured to carry out a method for additively manufacturing a plurality of ophthalmic devices, comprising at least one tank filled with a volume of a predetermined material, a single curing device configured for curing volumes of the predetermined material so as to harden layers of the ophthalmic devices to be manufactured, a layering device configured for layering volumes of the predetermined material onto harden layers of the ophthalmic devices to be manufactured, wherein the manufacturing system comprises a determined number of building platforms movable relative to the tank and on which are supported the ophthalmic devices, the number of building platforms being determined at least in function of the predetermined material, a curing time for the single curing device to cure a volume of the predetermined material to form a hardened layer, and a layering time for the layering device to provide a volume of the predetermined material to form a subsequent layer to be hardened, so that the layering device and the single curing device are able to perform respectively a curing step and a layering step simultaneously on layers from different ophthalmic devices.
