1. A cartridge device for use in a stereolithography apparatus, the cartridge device comprising:
a sleeve enclosing an interior, the sleeve of the cartridge device being deformable, the interior having a volume which remains substantially constant during deformation of the sleeve and which is at least partially formed by a receiving space, in which a quantity of a photosensitive substance is receivable for at least a period of time of a radiation and curing process and is accessible to radiation which triggers curing of the photosensitive substance,
wherein the sleeve has a base, an upper part, and a jacket connecting the base and upper part, and
wherein at least one of the base or the jacket has at least one perforatable, weakened area, for forming at least one opening for the supply or discharge of a photosensitive substance and/or the supply or discharge of solvent to or from the interior, and
wherein the upper part comprises a closure element configured to close the interior of the sleeve during the radiation and curing process.
