Microstereolithography technology has potential capability for fabrication of 3D microstructures. It evolved from conventional SLA which is one of the RP processes. In a microstereolithography process, 3D microstructures can be easily fabricated by continuously stacking 2D layer which is photopolymerized using a liquid prepolymer. Combination between biocompatible/biodegradable photocurable prepolymer and 3D complex fabrication in microstereolithography makes broad application areas such as medical, pharmaceutic, and bio devices. In particular, a 3D microneedle for transdermal drug delivery and a scaffold for tissue engineering are fabricated using this technology. In this paper, the authors address development of microstereolithography system adapted to large surface and fabrication of various microstructures. In addition, to apply human body we suggest a biodegradable 3D microneedle and a scaffold using biodegradable photocurable prepolymer.

In order to increase the productivity of conventional microstereolithography, a new method using a digital micromirror device ($DMD^{TM}$) as the dynamic patter generator is proposed. The deviation from the level of clear optical images to the level of photopolymer surface is a key for the fabrication of an accurate 3D structure, so this deviation is minimized by controlling the viscosity of FA 1260T with organic solvents. After finding the appropriate process variables, the feasibility of microstructure fabrication such as a microgear and a microsphere is demonstrated. Microstereolithography with $DMD^{TM}$ showed the potential to replace the existing focused beam microstereolithography.

In order to increase productivity in conventional stereolithography. Microstereolithography using a digital micramirror device $(DMD^{TM})$ as a dynamic patter generator is proposed The deviation from a level of clear optical images to a level of a photopolymer surface is a key for the fabrication of an accurate 3D structure. so this deviation is minimized by controlling the viscosity of FA1260T with organic solvents. After finding the appropriate process valuables (exposure time of optical images. layer thickness of each layer). the feasibility of microstructures such as a microgear and a microsphere is then demonstrated. Microstereolithography wi th $DMD^{TM}$ might eventually replace conventional laser induced microstereolithography market such as in the manufacturing of jewels and medical parts.

As demands for complex microstructures with high aspect ratios have increased, the existing methods, MEMS and LIGA, have had difficulties coping with the number of masks and fabricable heights. A microstereolithography technology can meet these demands because it has no need of masks and is capable of fabricating high aspect ratio microstructures. In this technology, 3D part is fabricated by stacking layers, 2D sections, which are sliced from STL file, and the Dynamic Image Projection process enables the resin surface to be cured by a dynamic image generated with $DMD^{TM}$ (Digital Micromirror Device) and one irradiation. In this paper, we address optical design process for implementing this microstereolithography system that takes the light path based on DMD operation and image-formation on the resin surface using an optical design program into consideration. To verify the performance of this implemented microstereolithography system, complex 3D microstructures with high aspect ratios were fabricated.

Microstereolithography has evolved from the stereolithography technique, and is also based on a light-induced layer-stacking manufacturing. Integral microstereolithography is proposed for building a 3D microstructure rapidly, which allows the manufacture of a complete layer by one irradiation only. In this study, we developed the integral microstereolithography apparatus based on the use of $DMD^{TM}$ as dynamic pattern generator. It is composed of Xenon-Mercury lamp, optical devices, pattern generator, precision stage, controllers and the control program. Also, we estimated curing characteristics in photopolymer. The relationship between the viscosity of diluent-oligomer solutions and curing width, irradiation time and curing property has been studied.
