Three dimensional (3D) printer with near instantaneous object printing using a photo-curing liquid

This is a 3D printer that creates objects almost instantly. It works by shining a focused light image into a liquid material, specifically a photo-curing resin or photopolymer, causing an entire volume of the liquid to solidify at once, rather than building it layer by layer.

Why it matters: Since 2014, advancements in volumetric display technology and precise light-field manipulation have made the creation of complex 3D light images more feasible. This could potentially enable true volume curing as described, overcoming prior technical hurdles.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComplex optical assembly, volumetric display
