Advancements and applications of nanoprinting
It’s easy to appreciate big 3D printers, but what about the technologies that produce objects so small that they can’t be seen with the naked eye.

If you think you’ve seen small printing, you need to check out Nanoscribe’s video of their latest printer, the Photonic Professional GT.
If Star Trek is any indication of what the future will be like, and I think it is, we should have personal replicators in a few short decades.
Just how small can a 3D printer print? How about at the molecular level to create live tissues and cell-sized microchips? Yeah, that’s small all right.
Researchers at Vienna University of Technology are using a process called “two-photo lithography” to make structures smaller than a grain of sand.
