I wonder when we can start 3D printing our own resistors and transistors.
- artemonster 6y agoThey already are. Most lithography processes are additive, including making the active components themselves (is some applications, not in general)
- ducktective 6y agoI'm no expert in this field but I think the challenging part in IC design is the light-based lithography process that makes integrating large numbers of transistors possible...so I guess the 3d printing part is not the limiting factor.
- bobsmooth 6y agoYou can do photo-lithography at home. Applied Science has a few videos on the subject.
