Digital Generation of High Resolution Objects

Objective

This proposal presents a development project for a micro scale Additive Manufacturing (AM) system. AM systems can take computer designed or scanned files describing 3-dimensional shapes and make physical (often plastic or metallic ) objects. Typical AM systems make objects that have feature sizes suitable for human interaction; the low end being a fraction of a millimeter. The proposal presents research into systems that are capable to smaller features down to few micrometer sizes. The proposal describes inexpensive technology that is capable to few micrometer features. Part of the research program is also background experiments that verify the material capability. The plan is to study many applications of micro scale AM technology, including micro fluid diagnostics (lab-on-the-chip) and medical applications.
