Researchers have developed an optofluidic 3D microfabrication technique that enables the creation of microstructures from metals, oxides, and quantum dots.

Originally reported by 3D Printing Industry

Researchers have developed an optofluidic 3D microfabrication technique that enables the creation of microstructures from metals, oxides, and quantum dots. By using laser-induced flow to transport particles into sacrificial templates, the method achieves assembly rates of 100,000 particles per minute. This approach decouples material composition from geometric design, allowing for complex multi-material microrobots integrating four distinct functional materials. This shift moves micro-AM toward universal nanoparticle assembly. 🚀 #AdditiveManufacturing #Nanotechnology #3DPrinting #Microfabrication #Innovation
