Volumetric additive manufacturing

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000410

An additive manufacturing technique that forms entire three-dimensional objects simultaneously within a volume of photosensitive resin, rather than layer by layer. This method uses intersecting light patterns or tomographic projections to cure the resin at specific points throughout the build volume. It offers significantly faster print speeds compared to traditional layer-by-layer processes.
