3D printers can take hours to produce something because they lay down the "print" material one layer at a time, from the bottom up. 

Now, a  paper in Science Magazine reports a new holographic process that uses lasers to activate resin so it only hardens when the lasers combine to produce the right amount of energy. 

That has allowed, in the lab, the creation of 3D objects in seconds instead of hours. This new technology is at an early stage, but the potential is huge. 

The process is still in the very early lab stage.
