Abstract

Projection multi-photon 3D printing is an emerging technique for fabricating micro-nano structures at exceptionally high speeds. It leverages the use of a digital micromirror (DMD) to project and print entire 2D layers at once, offering higher throughput and scalability than conventional point-by-point laser scanning. While two photon polymerization is widely regarded as an outstanding method for achieving high dimensional accuracy at the nanoscale, the projection aspect introduces a new set of challenges, such as under-printing due to oxygen inhibition. The inherently complex photopolymerization dynamics make it difficult to model and simulate efficiently. To address this, we introduce a data-driven methodology employing deep learning to build a surrogate model of the printing process and an inverse model for 2D DMD pattern optimization to achieve desirable printed shapes. By printing diverse shapes morphed by various parametrization schemes, we built a dataset for training convolutional encoder-decoder (autoencoder) neural networks. The trained surrogate accurately maps input DMD patterns to their final printed geometries, capturing nonlinearities introduced by process physics. Inverting the inputs and outputs further enabled us to train an inverse model for generating pre-compensated DMD patterns to print desirable target geometries. Experimental findings demonstrate that this deep learning approach accurately predicts printed outputs and enhances dimensional accuracy in the printing of 2D layers. Our results reveal a viable approach to overcome inhibition-induced constraints, enabling more accurate projection-based multi-photon printing at the micro and nanoscale.
投影多光子3D打印的卷积自编码器框架
投影多光子3D打印是一种新兴的以超高速制造微纳米结构的技术。它利用数字微镜(DMD)一次投射和打印整个2D层,比传统的逐点激光扫描提供更高的吞吐量和可扩展性。虽然双光子聚合被广泛认为是在纳米尺度上实现高尺寸精度的一种杰出方法,但投影方面引入了一系列新的挑战,例如由于氧抑制而导致的欠印。固有的复杂的光聚合动力学使其难以有效地建模和模拟。为了解决这个问题,我们引入了一种数据驱动的方法,采用深度学习来构建打印过程的代理模型和2D DMD图案优化的逆模型,以实现理想的打印形状。通过打印由各种参数化方案变形的各种形状,我们建立了一个用于训练卷积编码器-解码器(自编码器)神经网络的数据集。经过训练的代理将输入的DMD模式精确地映射到它们最终的打印几何形状,捕获由过程物理引入的非线性。反过来的输入和输出进一步使我们能够训练一个反向模型,用于生成预补偿的DMD模式,以打印理想的目标几何形状。实验结果表明,这种深度学习方法可以准确地预测打印输出,提高二维层打印的尺寸精度。我们的研究结果揭示了一种可行的方法来克服抑制诱导的限制,从而在微纳米尺度上实现更精确的基于投影的多光子打印。
