1. A method of making a transaction instrument, the method comprising:
- providing a pool of liquid photopolymer resin, andproducing a transaction instrument by continuous liquid interface production using the pool of liquid photopolymer resin, comprising;
curing a first portion of the liquid photopolymer resin using ultraviolet (UV) light, the first portion forming the transaction instrument being produced;
blocking the UV light from a second portion of the liquid photopolymer resin using oxygen; and
drawing the transaction instrument being produced upward from the pool of the liquid photopolymer resin.
