Volumetric additive manufacturing — tomographic photopolymer 3D printing

Abstract

This white paper covers volumetric additive manufacturing using tomographic photopolymer 3D printing, including VAM-specific resin routes and optical curing requirements. VAM relies on volumetric dose accumulation rather than layer-by-layer curing. Resin transparency, photoreactivity, oxygen inhibition, gelation threshold, optical dose control, resolution enhancement and cure-speed tuning are central to successful volumetric printing.
