A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) pad includes a polishing portion formed using a vat-based additive manufacturing process. The polishing portion includes a polymer material with a first elastic modulus. In some embodiments the polishing portion is disposed on the backing portion. The backing portion may have a second elastic modulus. The second elastic modulus may be less than the first elastic modulus.
