This Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) award supports the acquisition of a photonic 3D printer for the rapid fabrication of nano- to macro-scale parts and maskless lithography. As the only system of its kind in the state, it will enable users at Purdue and throughout the region to pursue new fundamental research directions by eliminating fabrication bottlenecks and design limitations. The team will integrate the instrumentation into ongoing education and outreach activities and will leverage the College of Engineering’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow program and the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program for undergraduate research using the system. The PIs will work with middle and high school students -- in collaboration with Deaf Kids CODE--enabling students to design and 3D print their own microrobots and to write code to control them -- exposing the students to the worlds of microtechnology, controls, and microrobotics.The instrumentation will enable interdisciplinary fundamental research in a range of fields including microrobotics, materials, sensors, devices, metamaterials, and programmable structures. The potentially transformative fundamental research can advance understanding of nanoscale physics during phase change from liquid to gas by enabling fabrication of nanopores for nanoscale evaporation. The fundamental research on materials and metamaterials can lead to novel phase transforming materials that can be used to design and fabricate energy absorption systems at the nano-scale. The research on microrobotics may advance fundamental knowledge on the navigation and control of micro-robots through vision-based micro-force sensing systems and how such robots might be scaled-down for biomedical applications.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项主要的研究仪器（MRI）奖支持获得光子3D打印机，用于快速制造纳米尺度零件和无掩模的光刻。作为该州唯一同类系统，它将使普渡大学和整个地区的用户通过消除制造瓶颈和设计限制来追求新的基本研究指示。该团队将将仪器纳入正在进行的教育和外展活动中，并利用工程学院的夏季本科研究研究员计划和使用该系统的本科研究的路易斯·斯托克斯联盟（Louis Stokes）少数民族参与计划。 The PIs will work with middle and high school students -- in collaboration with Deaf Kids CODE--enabling students to design and 3D print their own microrobots and to write code to control them -- exposing the students to the worlds of microtechnology, controls, and microrobotics.The instrumentation will enable interdisciplinary fundamental research in a range of fields including microrobotics, materials, sensors, devices, metamaterials, and programmable结构。潜在的变革基础研究可以通过为纳米级经济制造纳米孔在液体变为天然气期间对纳米级物理学的了解。对材料和超材料的基本研究可能会导致新型的相变材料，这些材料可用于在纳米级设计和制造能量吸收系统。关于微型机构的研究可能会通过基于视觉的微力敏感性系统以及如何将这些机器人缩放到生物医学应用程序上，以促进有关微型机器人的导航和控制的基本知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是宝贵的支持。
