Abstract
Volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM) and its most popular form, often called computed axial lithography (CAL), has been under active development for most of the last decade. This layer-less and support-free paradigm for 3D printing has drawn significant research attention owing to its speed, structural freedom, and material versatility. Presently, several dozen investigators worldwide are advancing the development of new materials, optical systems, and computational algorithms that underpin the implementation of volumetric 3D printing. This presentation takes stock of the state of technology, highlighting key accomplishments and major areas of progress, while identifying the most important challenges for future development.

Maxim Shusteff, PhD, has been on the research staff at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for nearly 16 years, currently affiliated with the Centers for Bioengineering, and Engineered Materials and Manufacturing. He has built and led a breadth of multidisciplinary R&D programs, recently emphasizing optically-driven volumetric 3D printing systems, and advanced photopolymer (bio)materials engineering. He also draws upon extensive expertise in microfluidics, microfabrication, instrumentation and measurement systems, and hardware-software integration, developed for a variety of applications in bioengineering and life science research. His undergraduate, M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are all in Electrical Engineering.
