CUHK's Faculty of Engineering has won the prestigious 2018 R&D 100 Award for the development of its digital holography-based 3D Nano-Builder technology. The 3-D Nano-Builder is capable of 3D printing micro- and nano-scale components with complex structures at a high speed for rapid prototyping. The invention has particular applications in areas including printing photonic, robotic, metamaterials, micro-scaffolds, and drug delivery devices.
