New light-based 3D-printing tech can print complex models in 0.6 seconds

Researchers from Tsinghua University have developed DISH technology that revolutionizes 3D printing by using holographic light fields to create complex millimeter-scale objects in just 0.6 seconds. Unlike existing methods that require rotating samples and high-viscosity materials, DISH uses a high-speed rotating periscope around a stationary container, achieving printing speeds of 333 cubic millimeters per second with incredible precision. This breakthrough enables mass production of intricate components for photonic computing devices, smartphone cameras, and micro-robots.
