The world’s first fully 3D-printed microscope can be made in a few hours and for a fraction of the cost of traditional ones. “It’s not just enabling, it’s empowering,” says Gail McConnell at the ...

Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical components capable of super-resolution imaging. Each custom lens costs less than $1 ...

In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...

Using an approach that combines 3D printing, silicone molding and a UV curable clear resin, researchers fabricated an inexpensive lenslet array, which they used for super-resolution imaging in a ...
