Characterization of a 30 µm pixel size CLIP-based 3D printer and its enhancement through dynamic printing optimization.

ABSTRACT: Resolving microscopic and complex 3D polymeric structures while maintaining high print speeds in additive manufacturing has been challenging. To achieve print precision at micrometer length scales for polymeric materials, most 3D printing technologies utilize the serial voxel printing approach that has a relatively slow print speed. Here, a 30-µm-resolution continuous liquid interface production (CLIP)-based 3D printing system for printing polymeric microstructures is described. This technology combines the high-resolution from projection microstereolithography and the fast print speed from CLIP, thereby achieving micrometer print resolution at x10³ times faster than other high-resolution 3D printing technologies. Print resolutions in both lateral and vertical directions were ch
