Multi-beam two-photon polymerization for fast large area 3D periodic structure fabrication for bioapplications

Abstract Two-photon polymerization (TPP) is capable of fabricating 3D structures with dimensions from sub-µm to a few hundred µm. As a direct laser writing (DLW) process, fabrication time of 3D TPP structures scale with the third order, limiting its use in large volume fabrication. Here, we report o...
