When compared to polymer-based 3D Laser Nanoprinting, multi-photon 3D printing of metals is lacking in both structure quality and printing speed. In a new paper published in Laser & Photonics Reviews, Cluster Researchers including Principal Investigators Eva Blasco, Carsten Rockstuhl and Martin Wegener show that light-induced forces onto the nanoparticles play a significant role in the process, thus opening the possibility for further process optimizations and applications.
