Problem
Traditional 3D printing methods for photopolymers are slow, lack design flexibility, and generate significant material waste, limiting their applicability in high-throughput manufacturing environments. Existing processes struggle to meet the demands for rapid prototyping and customized production in fields like dental aligners and tissue engineering.
Solution
Vitro3D leverages volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM) technology to produce parts at speeds up to 100 times faster than traditional 3D printing. This technology enables the rapid creation of complex geometries from photopolymers by solidifying the entire object simultaneously, rather than layer by layer. The VAM process offers enhanced design flexibility, reduces material waste by using only the necessary material for the part, and eliminates the need for chemical handling through the use of printer cartridges. This approach allows for the efficient production of customized parts, such as dental aligners and scaffolds for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering, with unparalleled speed and precision.
