A team of EPFL engineers has developed a 3D-printing method that uses light to make objects out of opaque resin in a matter of seconds. Their breakthrough could have promising applications in the biomedical industry, such as to make artificial arteries. EPFL’s Laboratory of Applied Photonic Devices (LAPD) Three 3D-printed objects: one made from transparent resin (left); one from opaque resin, without correction (middle); and one from opaque resin, with correction (right).
