Polygon-based 3D microstructure modeling and digital light transfer technology by micro-stereolithography

Polygonal-based micro-stereolithography technology, which utilizes laser light curing for polymerization, has been widely employed to create three-dimensional (3D) micro/nanostructures suitable for various applications, including photonics, microfluidics, micromechanical systems, and medicine. A “Thiessen method” based on a polygon mesh was created in the design process to develop an understanding between designers and researchers of the shape. It was used in fabrication for highly accurate structures and rationalization. In this paper, we show how to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of resins that contain lattice surfaces and particles that can be used to make 3D microstructures with a high level of detail using polygons with different properties of a suitable soft material. 3D-printed designs with digital light processing technology, as well as isotropic samples, were made with a mix of micro-stereolithography and microstructured textures. We designed different polygonal mesh rules that connect the loading speed to the separation effective area pattern, birefringence, surface element mass, and contact angle for surfaces that are hydrophilic in different meshes (89° for triangular meshes and 86° for quadrilateral meshes). It is related to the friction coefficient (0.455 for triangular mesh and 0.556 for quadrilateral mesh). The behavior of combined textures can be approximated by combining existing models that describe various polygonal mesh orientations aggregated for annealing. We are introducing a comprehensive design approach for creating conformal lattice surface structures.
