Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an additive manufacturing system for forming at least one of forming a part or modifying a surface using a volume of polymerizable resin. The system makes use of a subsystem for generating power output signals, and at least one acoustic transducer. The acoustic transducer is placed in a vicinity of the volume of polymerizable resin and is responsive to the power output signals. The acoustic transducer generates and projects ultrasound energy in response to receiving the power output signals to at least one spatial location within the volume of resin to cause polymerization of at least a portion of the volume of resin to at least one of form the part or modify the surface.
