Abstract

The integration of several printing techniques into a single platform requires to miniaturize each additive manufacturing tool.

With this aim in mind, we have developed a compact toolkit for high-resolution additive manufacturing of polymers. This toolkit is made of two ultra-thin nozzles, a multimode optical fiber (MMF) for the curing unit, and a glass capillary for the drop-on-demand device (DOD). Polymerization of micrometric patterns is achieved by delivering laser light in a structured manner through a 5-cm long, 200 \(\upmu \)m-wide MMF. Along with this curing unit, the combined DOD device is made of a 10-cm long and 300-\(\upmu \)m wide glass capillary through which viscous materials are delivered via laser-actuation.

We envision that our compact additive manufacturing toolkit could be integrated within other manufacturing platforms as an add-on tool, thus enabling multi-resolution processing.
