スイス連邦工科大学ローザンヌ校(EPFL)の研究チームは、ホログラフィック投影を用いて光ベースの3Dプリンティング技術の解像度と効率を飛躍的に向上させる手法を開発しました。この方法では、回転する樹脂容器に三次元ホログラムを投影し、従来の層積み方式とは異なり、数秒以内にミリメートルサイズの物体を製造できます。さらに、この技術は従来の方法と比較して25分の1の光エネルギーで高精度な3Dプリントを実現します。この手法は、バイオレジンやハイドロゲルなどの生体材料を用いたバイオメディカル分野での応用が期待されています。

ホログラム技術で3Dプリンティングの効率と解像度を向上 (Holograms boost 3D printing efficiency and resolution)

Abstract

Several 3D light-based printing technologies have been developed that rely on the photopolymerization of liquid resins. A recent method, so-called Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing, allows the fabrication of microscale objects within tens of seconds without the need for support structures. This method works by projecting intensity patterns, computed via a reverse tomography algorithm, into a photocurable resin from different angles to produce a desired 3D shape when the resin reaches the polymerization threshold. Printing using incoherent light patterning has been previously demonstrated. In this work, we show that a light engine with holographic phase modulation unlocks new potential for volumetric printing. The light projection efficiency is improved by at least a factor 20 over amplitude coding with diffraction-limited resolution and its flexibility allows precise light control across the entire printing volume. We show that computer-generated holograms implemented with tiled holograms and point-spread-function shaping mitigates the speckle noise which enables the fabrication of millimetric 3D objects exhibiting negative features of 31 μm in less than a minute with a 40 mW light source in acrylates and scattering materials, such as soft cell-laden hydrogels, with a concentration of 0.5 million cells per mL.
