reklein Posted March 27, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 27, 2022 That is just nuts. I'm sure someone has found a use for such tiny objects too. Maybe in the electronic industries for printed circuitry eh? bruce d, Kevin-the-lubber, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Bill, in Idaho Completed Mamoli Halifax and Billings Viking ship in 2015 Next Model Shipways Syren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin-the-lubber Posted March 27, 2022 Share #3 Posted March 27, 2022 That’s fascinating. I imagine it costs a fortune. Depending on how strong the printed objects are, it does have relevance to modelling: for 1/100 scale I can print blocks down to about 2mm but anything smaller I.e. 6” blocks, are technically challenging. Nano 3D probably opens up a whole world of possibilities for models at, say, 1/700 etc. modeller_masa, mtaylor and thibaultron 3 Quote Kevin https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/ktl_model_shop Current projects: HMS Victory 1:100 (Heller / Scratch, kind of active, depending on the alignment of the planets) https://modelshipworld.com/topic/23247-hms-victory-by-kevin-the-lubber-heller-1100-plastic-with-3d-printed-additions/ Cutty Sark 1:96 (More scratch than Revell, parked for now) https://modelshipworld.com/topic/30964-cutty-sark-by-kevin-the-lubber-revell-196 Soleil Royal 1:100 (Heller..... and probably some bashing.

Maybe in the electronic industries for printed circuitry eh? Unlikely. As an electronics engineer, i can tell they are way ahead of this size. Chip technology uses photo etching and/or metal steaming-vaporising to build the circuits. They are really in nanometer scale. Nowadays a semiconductor in a chip is 5 nm wide, and now trying to reach 2 nm, but due technical difficulties (not the size, but the intereference between neighboring transistors: electrons can travel between them) those chips are not yet reliable. I bet diagnostic and precision instruments industry who can use this level of accuracy in printing. mtaylor, thibaultron, Nirvana and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
