    Area of Science:

    • Additive Manufacturing
    • Optical Engineering
    • Computational Imaging

    Background:

    • Tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM) utilizes photopolymerization via computed tomography projections.
    • Current methods, based on the Radon transform, do not account for finite etendue and non-telecentricity in optical systems.
    • These limitations restrict the fidelity and build volume of VAM.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel projection computation method for tomographic VAM.
    • To enable high-fidelity 3D printing in systems with finite etendue and non-telecentricity.
    • To expand the capabilities of tomographic VAM for improved performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed and implemented a 3D ray tracing technique for calculating tomographic projections.
