Abstract
An ultrafast laser assisted mesoscale lithography will be introduced by presenting its technological principles, current state-of-the-art and potential in 3D printing of diverse materials ranging from biocompatible, biodegradable and renewable organics to amorphous, ceramic and crystalline inorganics. Its applications towards prototyping and producing bio-medical implants, micro-optics and nano-photonics as well as creating micro-fluidic sensors will be shown. A special emphasis on the development and applications of microfabricated structures for life-sciences will be given, namely customization of laser direct write lithography-made 3D scaffolds for optimized in vivo outcome. Furthermore, the possibility to employ the technique for precision additive manufacturing out of plant-based resins and pure inorganics will be demonstrated. Finally, some unique functional properties of selected prototypes will be provided in detail validating their high efficiency performance.
