Parallax VAM supports high-throughput methods like injection molding for broader applications.
Manifest Technologies (formerly Vitro3D), a University of Colorado spinout, unveiled its Parallax Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (P-VAM) evaluation kit at RAPID 2025, enabling engineers and R&D teams to explore its volumetric 3D printing technology.
Parallax VAM overcomes some limitations of traditional additive manufacturing and is compatible with high-throughput processes like injection molding, enabling use in a wider range of production applications.
Parallax VAM: a new category of additive manufacturing
The P-VAM evaluation kit showcases Manifest’s proprietary technology, anchored by four key advantages:
- Rapid, layerless 3D fabrication
Simultaneously cures liquid resin in three dimensions, eliminating the need for layers and support structures, to produce solid parts more quickly than conventional additive methods and support customized, scalable production. - Unmatched design freedom and adaptability
Enables previously impossible geometries, including seamless embedding of electronics or objects directly within fabricated parts. Resolution can be precisely adapted across individual components and unlimited horizontal scalability offering unprecedented flexibility for complex designs. - Wide material compatibility
Manifest’s open platform approach allows users to experiment freely with a diverse array of transparent photopolymer resins, including high viscosity formulations, to precisely tailor materials to advanced applications. - Production-line ready – forget the printer form factor
Compact, modular hardware seamlessly integrates into serial manufacturing environments, eliminating the need for traditional bulky print farms. P-VAM enables continuous, on-demand production directly within existing manufacturing lines.
