Surface techniques
• The microstructure is fabricated relatively easily
• It takes relatively short time to fabricate a microstructure
• The fabrication time for the making of the layer is relatively long
• The solidified photopolymer tends to adhere transparent plate ⇒ Broken and adhered structure
Classical MSTL
Classical MSTL system
• The focusing problem • The fast fabrication speed (comparison to IH process)
Beam scanning over flat resin plane by galvanometric scanner
Hệ thống MSTL (IH - Integrated Harden Process)
Ikuta et al 1993
Schematic diagram of apparatus for IH process • The capability of building real 3D and high-aspect ratio microstructures (µm)
• The possibility of fabricating different materials • The lower fabrication than classical MSTL
Super IH Process
• No layer preparation Ikuta et al 1998
• High resolution (better than 1µm in 3D space) • Fabrication of a real 3D structure without any support parts nor sacrificial layers • Micro-parts with free moving elements • The expensive optic systems
Two photon Process Maruo et al 1996
• No layer preparation Schematic diagram of two photon process
• Fabrication of real 3D structure without any support parts nor sacrificial layers • Sub-micro resolution • Large extent of 3D fabrication in depth (comparison with super IH process) • Ultra-fast fabrication (comparison with super IH process) • The freely movable structure
Mask projection Bertsch et.al 1995
Real mask projection MSTL
• The fabrication speed is improved significantly
compared with scanning MSTL • For truly 3D microstructures, a number of masks need to made (time consuming and expensive)
Dynamic mask projection MSTL using LCD
• The complex 3D micro-object can be fabricated quickly whatever its pattern may be • The lateral dimension is limited by the low resolution and low contrast of the LCD • The LCD is opaque to UV light, only with visible light sources
