3D Printing of Multilayer Magnetic Miniature Soft Robots with Programmable Magnetization

Abstract

Multi-layer 3D printing via digital light processing (DLP) provides a fast and precise way to produce sophisticated magnetic miniature soft robots. With concurrent encoding of discrete magnetization profiles during the printing process, the structures exhibit a wide range of induced shape transformation and controlled locomotion under magnetic actuation. This capability holds significant promise for targeted minimally invasive treatments and precise therapeutic interventions within constrained biomedical settings.
