Laser-Based 3D Printing Used to Fabricate Tiny Microstructures for Tissue Repair

“The researchers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland are already well known for their work in robotics, microscopy, and spectroscopy, but now they’re researching a new and innovative approach to repairing tissue damage, using 3D printing technology, that could be used with an endoscope to build biocompatible microstructures right into tissue inside the body. Now, for the first time, an optical fiber that’s as thin as a human hair can use laser-based 3D printing to fabricate tiny structures…”
