3D printing with one of the world’s hardest Tungsten-based materials is now possible
First truly 3D chip fabbed at US foundry, features carbon nanotube transistors and RAM on a single die
Instead of spinning the material, the DISH technique keeps it stationary, and instead uses a high-speed multi-perspective light field that rotates around the material. This enables the precise projection of complex 3D light intensity distributions in an extremely short time. Tsinghua’s advance thus allows for the headlining production of millimeter-scale objects in fractions of a second.
The scientists also claim there are stability and accuracy advantages to be had by moving the light field, rather than the material.
There is already talk about using DISH tech for mass production. The Chinese scientists reckon that this 3D printing technology would be eminently suitable for micro-components such as photonic computing devices and mobile phone camera modules, plus a multitude of parts which require sharp angles and complex curved surfaces. With an eye on the future, the scientists also say that DISH could be an asset in the production of complex components for flexible electronics , micro-robotics, and high-resolution tissue engineering.
