Abstract
Additive manufacturing enables producing shapes that would otherwise be expensive, or impossible to achieve. Stereolithography, specifically, offers highest resolution as it is primarily limited by the optical exposure system. With Hot Lithography, it is now possible to produce precise parts with industrially relevant material properties. We show resolution capabilities of laser scanning over an area of 200 mm x 100 mm, utilizing polymerization triggered by single photon absorption, and its applications in fields traditionally relying on microfabrication technologies. We elaborate, how Hot Lithography provides technological and economic opportunities in areas such as the electronics industry, fluidics, and medical devices.
