Computed Axial Lithography (CAL) is an emerging technology for manufacturing complex parts, all at once, by circumventing the traditional layered approach using tomography. Overprinting, a unique additive capability of CAL, allows 3D geometry to be formed around prepositioned insert where occlusion light compensated other angular projections. This method opens door novel applications within multi-material systems such as endoskeletal robots. Herein, this work presents one application with simple Gelatin Methacrylate (GelMA)hydrogel osmotic actuator embedded system. GelMA ideal material it swellable and has reversible thermal gelation, enabling suspension endoskeleton during printing. By tuning formulation, design, post-processing, swelling-induced bending actuation 60 degrees achieved. To aid in printing process, computational determining absolute dose absorbed resin allowing print time prediction also proposed.

Abstract Volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM) is an emerging layerless method for the rapid processing of reactive resins into 3D structures, where printing much faster (seconds) than other lithography and direct ink writing methods (minutes to hours). As a vial resin rotates in VAM process, patterned light exposure defines object then that has not undergone gelation can be washed away. Despite promise VAM, there are challenges with soft hydrogel materials from non‐viscous precursors, including multi‐material constructs. To address this, sacrificial gelatin used modulate viscosity support cytocompatible macromers based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), hyaluronic acid (HA), polyacrylamide (PA). After printing, removed by washing at elevated temperature. print constructs, gelatin‐containing as shear‐yielding suspension bath (including HA further properties) extruded define processed defined object. Multi‐material constructs methacrylated (MeHA) methacrylamide (GelMA) printed (as proof‐of‐concept) encapsulated mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), local properties guide cell spreading behavior culture.
