I had a flash of insight a few years ago that the real way to think about 3d printing. We can separate "data transfer" about desired solid regions in a volume, from what I call "locking".

Once I made this transition in thinking, I saw hundreds of new ways to do 3D printing. Ultrasound was only one of a huge multitude of other "data transfer" techniques that just kind of felt obvious all of a sudden.

Have a look at this: https://opg.optica.org/ol/abstract.cfm?uri=ol-47-5-1279

Matches 100% what you're saying: use low intensity uv to write the spatial area you want to solidify, and when you're done flood cure it all together.
