video: This 3D printing approach uses two light sources, one to initiate the solidification reaction and one to stop it, allowing precise control of printing in both time and space. The Block M in the video is printed while being continuously pulled out of the resin bath. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Jan. 11th, 2019, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by Martin P. de Beer at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, and colleagues was titled, "Rapid, continuous additive manufacturing by volumetric polymerization inhibition patterning." view more
