  • Patent number: 11921110
    Abstract: A method for controlled production of an array of planar microparticles with the multiplexing of molecules on the surface thereof, intended to function as molecular sensors and/or actuators and a matrix (array) of microparticles, the surface thereof being printed with all of the molecular components required to provide the surface with functionality. Different molecular elements are multiplexed on the surface of each particle while they are supported on a substrate by means of a structural foot engraved below the particle. These microparticles can be released mechanically from the support on which they are produced using a controlled mechanical rupture method which is not chemically aggressive and therefore does not affect the molecules previously printed on the surface. The array and the particles contained therein offer great versatility in both chemical and/or biological applications.

  • Publication number: 20230347580
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a device and method for stereolithograpic three dimensional (3D) printing comprising: a) a container adequate for containing a photopolymerizable polymer, b) at least one laser generator emitting a light beam with a wavelength between 360 nm and 1000 nm, c) modulation means for modulating said light beam into at least two light sheets which are matrices of light, and d) means for irradiating said light sheets in the container containing said photopolymerizable polymer; wherein said at least one laser generator is arranged so that said at least two light sheets are crossed inside said container, leading to polymerization of the photopolymerizable polymer at the crossing of said light sheets.
