Researchers Using Holograms to Guide Laser Light for Volumetric 3D Printing
Tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (TVAM) uses laser light to harden a rotating vial of photosensitive resin into a specific shape. Last year, scientists from the Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne (EPFL) published a paper on their work using holograms to encode 3D forms; instead of modulating the brightness of light waves, they modulated the alignment, which preservers more laser power. Now, a team from EPFL’s Laboratory of Applied Photonic Devices (LAPD) has developed a new, more efficient platform for this holographic TVAM approac
