Abstract
The use of light for material processing involves the parallelism of optics to process 2 dimensional surfaces as well as precisely shaping 3 dimensional volumes in additive manufacturing. The available technology to shape light is typically 2-dimensional (2D), thus there is an unavoidable need to take 2D to 3D transformations into account to create three dimensional objects. We will show how the reverse, i.e 3D-2D transformations are relevant for the creation of three dimensional objects at the nanoscale and macroscale. This high-level comparison across different, yet related fields yield a useful perspective for 3D printing using light.
