Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for improved volumetric additive manufacturing (vam) are described herein. in some aspects of the present disclosure, approaches to vam image-computation are provided that algebraically optimizes directly on the structure to be printed, instead of on the set of external projection images. these approaches provide multiple advantages including improved reconstruction fidelity, simplicity, flexibility, and robust convergence to a desirable reconstruction, regardless of initial image-set guess.
