Ziningi izikhungo zocwaningo nentuthuko ezisebenza namuhla ngezindlela ezintsha zokuphrinta kwe-3D. Isibonelo esicacile salokhu esinaso namuhla ezifundweni ezishicilelwe yithimba locwaningo le I-École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL ngesifinyezo sayo, esiqondiswa ngu UPaul delrot.
Kulo mkhakha, abacwaningi baphumelele ukukhombisa ukuthi umqondo we ukuphrinta kwe-endoscopic 3D, okungukuthi, uhlobo lokuphrinta kwe-3D okungathi esikhundleni semishini ekhethekile kungavela ngqo ngaphakathi emzimbeni wanoma yimuphi umuntu ngenxa yokusebenzisa inaliti elayishwe ngama-photopolymers. Le ndlela ingasiza kakhulu i-3D bioprinting kanye nokuthunyelwa kwemithi yokuzivuselela.
Lolu cwaningo lunikeza isisombululo esikhulu kanye nethuba lokufinyelela emakethe yalokho okwaziwa ngokuthi yi-endoscopic 3D printing.
Ngamazwi akhe UPaul delrot:
Ngokuthuthuka okuthuthukile, inqubo yethu ingavumela amathuluzi we-endoscopic microfabrication angasiza kakhulu nganoma yikuphi ukuhlinzwa. Lawa mathuluzi angasetshenziswa ukuphrinta izakhiwo ze-3D ezincanyana noma ezincanyana ezenza ukunamathela kwamaseli nokukhula kwakheke izicubu ezinjiniyela ezibuyisa izicubu ezilimele.
Umsebenzi wethu ukhombisa ukuthi i-3D microfabrication ingafinyelelwa ngamasu ngaphandle kokukhonjwa kwelaser ephezulu ye-femtosecond ene-pulsed. Indlela ye-3D microprinting ye-EPFL single photon-dimensional microfabrication ngokusebenzisa i-multimod fiber fiber.
Njengoba kushiwo ephepheni elishicilelwe yileli thimba labaphenyi, ngemuva kweminyaka eminingi yokusebenza kwenzeke ukudala inqubo edingekayo ukuze khiqiza izakhiwo ngesilinganiso esiseduze kakhulu namasu amabili we-photon lithography. Umehluko wangempela phakathi kwamasu ashiwo naleso athuthukiswe yi-EPFL ukuthi iphrojekthi yabo icwecwe kakhulu futhi, ngokusebenzisa i-laser engaguquki kune-laser eshaywayo, ingaqaliswa amadivayisi ashibhile kakhulu.
