RESEARCH: New sound-based 3D-printing method enables finer, faster microdevices

Concordia University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Concordia researchers have advanced their earlier 3D sound printing breakthrough with a new proximal sound printing technique that places the sound source closer to the material, enabling 10× finer, faster microscale structures. Using focused ultrasound, it improves precision, repeatability and power efficiency for microdevices in healthcare and sensing.
