No One Ever Looked Cuter in a Santa Hat
Apart from microrobotics, Paliard said that 3D microprinting has many potential applications. For instance, it can be used to create medical devices, such as micro-needles to administer medicine in a non-invasive way or small stents to treat cardiovascular disease. Some may also consider using it in micro-optics, or very small optics for optical fiber connectors or microlenses for smartphones.
“We see many interests in these very various fields, so we hope that our 3D-microprinting technology will help researchers and [the industry],” he said, “and create breakthrough discoveries in these domains.”
