An article [1] about this, describing the inspiration from CT scans for the technique used here to 3D print, is pretty interesting. Below is a quote from it: "

An article [1] about this, describing the inspiration from CT scans for the technique used here to 3D print, is pretty interesting. Below is a quote from it: "They were inspired by the 3-D imaging used to make CT scans. The medical imaging technique rotates a scanner around a patient’s body and constructs a 3-D image from reflected X-rays. The new printing method does this in reverse. The researchers developed software to turn a 3-D design into a light field that’s projected into a rotating vat of photocurable materials."
