UC Berkeley releases open-source volumetric 3D printer OpenCAL

Original: UC Berkeley releases OpenCAL, an open-source volumetric 3D printer, with Formlabs and Prusa

UC Berkeley has released OpenCAL, an open-source volumetric 3D printer developed in collaboration with Formlabs and Prusa. Volumetric printing builds objects by solidifying resin in three dimensions rather than layer by layer, and open-sourcing the design could let researchers and hobbyists experiment with the approach at low cost. The project is being reported in the additive manufacturing press as a notable step for accessible volumetric 3D printing.

Why now: News of an open-source design makes an advanced 3D printing technique newly accessible to researchers and makers.
