This was a joint effort between EPFL's RGL and LAPD labs (@felixwechsler.bsky.social). We release an open-source software, Dr.TVAM, which can be easily installed via pip. Please see the [documentation](drtvam.readthedocs.io) and our [paper](rgl.epfl.ch/publications...) for more details.

We also present an improved discretization scheme that keeps information about the printed object’s surface while optimizing, which alleviates pixelated artifacts coming from naively discretizing the target object on a regular voxel grid.

We demonstrate the versatility of our framework in novel printing configurations such as printing in a square container, which has a higher optical quality than glass-blown cylindrical vials.

In contrast, our framework is based on a differentiable renderer, therefore we can apply volume rendering techniques to accurately model scattering by participating media. We can produce higher-quality prints than previous methods in scattering media.

We are excited to present a SIGGRAPH Asia paper exploring a new application of inverse rendering to Tomographic Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (TVAM), a new light-based 3D printing technology that can print objects in less than a minute.
