• Researchers fromTsinghua University, a Beijing-based research institution focused on engineering, optics, and artificial intelligence, together with collaborators fromZhejiang University’s medical research centers, report a volumetric 3D printing system capable of fabricating millimetre-scale objects in 0.6 seconds while maintaining a uniform 19 μm printing resolution across a 1 cm depth. • Published inNature, the method-Digital Incoherent Synthesis of Holographic Light Fields (DISH)-addresses the long-standing trade-off between spatial resolution and volumetric build rate in light-based additive manufacturing. • Volumetric approaches such as computed axial lithography form 3D objects by projecting light patterns from multiple angles into a stationary resin. • High-resolution implementations typically require 360° sample rotation to avoid missing spatial frequencies in tomographic reconstruction. • Mechanical rotation limits printing speed and complicates in situ fabrication. • Increasing optical resolution further introduces diffraction constraints.
