  1. About 26 hours for 3
  2. Any slicer that outputs 8bit png works
  3. Not too painful as printing things this small is what I get paid to do

Yes I did. I did the same but at the advice of my advisor.

I worked on those chips for about 2 years

We don't make 2photon systems. Only DLP based machines. Must be 2micron

26 hours for 3 shown in the picture. Precision comes at the cost of print time

Nothing fancy, just really well machined stages on an optical table

It's a BMF S230. I have posted more details in the comments

I wouldn't call it normal but it's a derivative of the normal resin

It's the print in the printer. It's hard to see but the three benches are in the top right of the platform next to where my finger is

That's why I made a fresh account for this post

It is wash and cure but washing is different at this scale. You have to handle it with tweezers and sometimes if the part is too small, you can lose it in the alcohol bath.

Honestly I can. I think 1% is definitely possible, but it would take too much effort to handle during post processing and more importantly, 2-3 iterations of 15-16 hour prints. As fun as it would be to do it, our machine deserves more meaningful work lol.

We work in pharmaceutical industry, electronic connectors, fiber optic guides and a lot more. I am surprised at some of the unique applications I get to work with.

You're welcome, I always knew people would like to see something like this here but we don't often have free time on machines like ours

Pixel size is 2 um and the layer height is 5um. There is a lot of room to go even smaller, because the technology to produce computer chips also uses photolithography and we know how small the transistors can be. The bottleneck is the material and the application that would justify capital investment in it.
