Was reading about this recently for the industry: A team of European researchers has come up with a game-changing 3D printing method that uses holography to make printing faster and more efficient. Their technique, called HoloVAM, is an upgrade to Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (TVAM), but instead of regular light projections, it uses a 3D hologram. This tweak makes the process way more efficient, speeding up printing times to just a few seconds while improving accuracy.
The team behind this breakthrough comes from Switzerland’s EPFL Laboratory of Applied Photonic Devices and the University of Southern Denmark’s Centre for Photonics Engineering. Their official research has been published in Nature Communications, showcasing how even complex 3D images - like the 3D image in their tests - can now be printed at incredible speeds.
Also that the most 3D printed benchy thing was made open source recently too. Very powerful stuff if it's in the hands of more people, and especially those who need it can put it to good use.
