Abstract
Projection micro stereolithography (PµSL) is a high-resolution (up to 0.6 µm) 3D printing
technology based on area projection triggered photopolymerization, and capable of fabricating
complex 3D architectures covering multiple scales and with multiple materials. This paper
reviews the recent development of the PµSL based 3D printing technologies, together with the
related applications. It introduces the working principle, the commercialized products, and the
recent multiscale, multimaterial printing capability of PµSL as well as some functional
photopolymers that are suitable to PµSL. This review paper also summarizes a few typical
applications of PµSL including mechanical metamaterials, optical components, 4D printing,
bioinspired materials and biomedical applications, and offers perspectives on the directions of
the further development of PµSL based 3D printing technology.
