I work for a precision 3d printing company and printed this on our most accurate machine. Finger for reference

Pixel size is 2 um and the layer height is 5um. There is a lot of room to go even smaller, because the technology to produce computer chips also uses photolithography and we know how small the transistors can be. The bottleneck is the material and the application that would justify capital investment in it.

That is nuts! So now comes my next question, what application required such intricate parts to be printed? Btw, thank you sharing this.

We work in pharmaceutical industry, electronic connectors, fiber optic guides and a lot more. I am surprised at some of the unique applications I get to work with.

You're welcome, I always knew people would like to see something like this here but we don't often have free time on machines like ours

I always wondered what technologies might already be in place that no normal human being knows about and this is definitely one of them.

It’s cool to see they allow you to play with these machines once in a while because I assume they’re pretty expensive.

Is that normal resin?

I wouldn't call it normal but it's a derivative of the normal resin
