Researchers at Stanford University have developed an innovative 3D printing technique called r2rCLIP that can produce up to 1 million customizable microscale particles a day. The process is reminiscent of an assembly line, allowing for mass production of particles smaller than a human hair. This automation significantly increases fabrication rates, highlighting potential for various applications such as drug delivery and microelectronics. By balancing resolution and speed, this technology bridges the gap between nanoscale 3D printing and macroscopic manufacturing. The researchers aim for wide adoption of r2rCLIP and emphasize the evolving focus on high-value applications in the field of 3D printing.
