Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for multi-scale stereolithography. The apparatus includes a light source for providing a laser beam having a first shape and a first size. The apparatus includes a dynamic aperture having multiple apertures that are of the same or different sizes or shapes. The dynamic aperture is configured to receive the laser beam and modify at least one of the shape or the size of the laser beam. The apparatus includes a platform for holding an object to be printed. The apparatus includes a processor connected to at least one of the light source, the dynamic aperture or the platform. The processor is configured to move the platform to direct the laser beam or direct the laser beam to cure resin onto the object to be printed using a first aperture of the multiple apertures to form the object.

Abstract: A three-dimensional printing approach based on stereolithography with variable printing resolutions to solve the trade-off between throughput and resolution. In this technology, the variable fabrication resolutions are achieved by switching light wavelength. The apparatus includes an optical filter based on high-contrast gratings. In one embodiment, the minimum printing resolution of the accordingly constructed stereolithography apparatus is reduced to 37 μm.
