3D printing started in the 1980s, providing a revolutionary way of building materials by making it easy and accessible. The methods of 3D printing have progressed a lot since, bringing new forms of printing. However, the portability of 3D printing has yet to be tackled. This report will go through a possible method to make 3D printing portable such as printing on the road using Volumetric Additive Manufacturing (VAM), while proving the concept of printing in a solid-state. This report will show the sample preparation of the material and results, allowing future studies to further develop this concept. Analysis and conclusion will also be shown based off the results obtained.
