Abstract: We present a novel approach for fabricating a wide variety of soft solid-like microstructures, thus leading to a new concept in 3D lithography. A relatively easy to accomplish technique has been demonstrated for curing different transient stages ofpolymer fluids by rapid cross-linking of PDMS.
