Abstract

Laser-based High Resolution 3D Printing

Aleksandr Ovsianikov, Professor, Additive Manufacturing Technologies, Technische Universität Wien

Multiphoton lithography (MPL) is set of methods offering a possibility of 3D structuring of a variety of materials at a high spatial resolution, unmatched by other 3D printing approaches. An increasing portfolio of available materials enables utilization of the versatile capabilities of MPL, from producing complex volumetric 3D structures by means of cross-linking, to creating void patters within hydrogels already containing living cells. In this contribution, our recent progress on MPL for biomedical applications and the development of according materials for MPL-based bioprinting will be presented.
