Dithiolane-Based Ink Performance in Light-Based 3D Printing

Laying out experimental data on a bio-based dithiolane ink for light-based 3D printing, analyzed across macro and microscale fabrication techniques. The work demonstrates the material's printability and controlled thermal depolymerisation, representing a novel, sustainable alternative to (meth)acrylate-based inks.

Use Cases

• Analyze printing performance metrics across macroscale digital light processing and microscale two-photon laser printing scales.
• Model the relationship between ink formulation and the fine feature resolution of fabricated 3D structures.
• Investigate the effectiveness of an embedded thermally latent base for controlled thermal depolymerisation across different printing scales.

Strengths

• Data originates from a published study demonstrating a novel, sustainable dithiolane-based ink for 3D printing.
• Includes analysis of material performance across two distinct printing scales: macroscale and microscale.
• Demonstrates a first example of targeted depolymerisation in microprinted structures using an embedded latent base.

Limitations

• The specific data variables, file formats, and dataset size are not described in the available metadata.
• The experimental scope is limited to a single, novel ink formulation, which may limit generalizability.
