With an SLA, you can do it by building parts without using the sweeper.

Of course, you have to take some care your inserts don't block
(shadow) the laser from curing essential areas of your part. The
insert itsself probably won't be damaged, at least in an SLA250
as the laser power is only somewhere between 10 mW and 70 mW.

Then, for bigger parts, calculate up to 15 minutes of recoating
time per layer.
