The 3D Nanofabrication Facility

该项目旨在通过一种具有纳米分辨率的新型3D打印技术来突破介观、微米和纳米级制造之间的差距。该项目预计将产生新的知识，在技术上制造复杂的结构与自由的设计，从介观到纳米尺度，目前不可能在澳大利亚，通过使用创新的整合，这种技术在一个完善的纳米制造设施。该项目的预期成果包括在纳米技术、光子学、机器人技术、超材料、生物表面工程或生物技术等领域的新发现。这将带来巨大的好处，例如将澳大利亚置于纳米技术和增材制造的领导地位。

This project aims to breach the gap between meso, micro and nanoscale manufacturing by means of a novel 3D printing technique with nanometric resolution. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the technologies to fabricate complex structures with freedom of design from the meso to the nanoscale, currently not possible in Australia, by using the innovative integration of this technique within a well establish nanofabrication facility. Expected outcomes of this project include new discoveries in fields such as nanotechnology, photonics, robotics, metamaterials, biosurface engineering or biotechnology. This should provide significant benefits, such as placing Australia in the leadership of nanotechnology and additive manufacturing.
