dc.description.abstract3D printing has gained a spot within the industry during the last decade due to the advantages it presents regarding conventional manufacturing technologies. Nevertheless, the high processing time and the material waste due to the use of printing supports are still some of the main challenges that have to be addressed. In this research work, a simple strategy to minimize the processing time and the material waste is carried out through a two-stage processing method. Here, a flat specimen is obtained using a vat photopolymerization 3D printer, presenting a low curing degree. Then, the specimen is bent and subsequent post-curing treatments are performed to increase the cross-link density, thus fixing the desired shape. Furthermore, carbon nanotubes were used as nanoreinforcement for increasing the mechanical properties and exploiting their Joule heating capabilities for the thermal post-curing treatment, being way less energy-consuming (around 1W) than using a conventional oven (around 750 W). The results obtained with a proof-of-concept evinced the suitability of the proposed two-stage processing method to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of the 3D printing process. The printing time and the material waste were reduced by 94.3 % and 16.7 % on average, respectively, with regard to printing the part directly on its final desired shape, as well as showing a shape fixity ratio of around 98 %. Furthermore, an enhancement of the mechanical properties was obtained due to the reorientation of the printed layers during the two-stage processinges
