Ultrasonic volumetric 3D printing, which will be investigated in this project, is a new and unique way to create objects. It uses ultrasonic energy to shape various materials into 3D objects. Utilizing ultrasonic transducer arrays enables steering their focal point simply by controlling electrical signals, without moving the transducers. This enables fast printing in arbitrary directions and overcomes the layer-by-layer approach of today's 3D printing technologies. The technology will reduce the need for support material and will operate with novel materials.
