What are some examples of the smallest 3D-printed items?
🛳 The smallest boat ever sailed is a 11.5-micrometer-long – 0.0004-inch, about one-third of the thickness of a human hair – and is 3D-printed ⬆️. This tiny ship, named for a popular 3D-printing test "3DBenchy", was made by a team at Leiden University, the Netherlands in 2020. The scientists created the boat in a bid to enrich their research on microswimmers, or small particles that move in liquid.
🪧 The smallest 3D-printed billboard is 1.424 square millimetres (0.002 square inches), and was made by Kao Commercial, in Shanghai, China, in December 2021 ⬆️.
🗺 Scientists have created an accurate 3D map of the Earth that is so small that one-thousand of them could fit on one grain of salt. Patterns of the Earth’s continents were created using an incredibly sharp silicon knife to carve features as small as 15 nanometres on a polymer substrate measuring only 22 by 11 micrometres ⬆️.
