Computed Axial Lithography (CAL) For 3D Additive Manufacturing
UC Berkeley's approach surpasses recently-reported volumetric aperiodic 3D structure fabrication using holographic light fields in its geometric flexibility. Similarly, the inherently volume-based approach of this technology provides an order-of-magnitude improvement in fabrication speed over conventional layer-by-layer "2 1/2D" printing techniques. Finally, the surface roughness problems imposed by layer-by-layer fabrication are substantially reduced if not removed entirely. Past/current use has included improvement to photopolymer-based additive manufacturing Faster part generationImproved surface quality, no stair step artifacts from layeringReduction of geometric constraints that arise from 2D layer slicing, simplified post-processing
Additive manufacturing generated optics with high quality surface finishHollow or overhanging structuresLarge dynamic range mesoscale AM structuresPrinting/fabrication on a previously fabricated 3D structure immersed in the resinProcessing very soft, flexible or brittle polymers and geometrically delicate/fragile structures (as there is no relative structure/fluid motion during printing).
