Summary

Story summary

A team from Tsinghua University developed a 3D printing technique called digital incoherent synthesis of holographic light fields (DISH) that can produce complex millimeter-scale objects in 0.6 seconds.
The method uses holograms to project light onto resin, eliminating lengthy traditional printing.
The technology could revolutionize production of micro-components in photonic devices and flexible electronics.
The findings were published in Nature.
