Abstract
By a multi-focus multi-photon 3D laser microprinting setup, which prints considerably faster than 3D printers based on only a single focus, in combination with a very sensitive multi-photon resist, we have been able to fabricate various macroscopic structures, as well as huge amounts of microscopic particles for different applications. The applications range from nanolattices with a very high strength-to-mass ratio and biological microswimmers to particles for respiratory research. Centimeter-sized samples as well as millions of multiple-micrometer sized particles could be fabricated in only hours to days.
