Chinese scientists have developed a new 3D printing technology that can complete high-resolution 3D printing of millimeter-sized complex objects in just 0.6 seconds, setting a new record for 3D printing speed. The findings were published online in Nature in the early hours of February 12. Previously, 3D printing was limited by speed and precision, with millimeter-scale high-resolution printing requiring tens of minutes or even hours. The new technology, based on computational optics, breaks through the speed bottleneck of point-by-point or layer-by-layer scanning modes, and has low requirements for printing containers, expanding printing scenarios. It is expected to be applied in fields such as flexible electronics and micro-robots in the future.
