Abstract
In an approach to improve three-dimensional (3D) manufacturing, methods determine, based on shape and dimensions of a hollow portion of a three-dimensional (3D) object, to create the 3D object using self-assembling cube robots submerged in a photosensitive resin tank. Additionally, methods instruct the self-assembling cube robots to collaborate to form an approximate shape of the hollow portion of the 3D object. Further, methods causing an ultraviolet (UV) projection system to emit holographic light beams around a structure of the self-assembling cube robots to create the 3D object with the hollow portion.
