[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2482086, member: 27832"]When I went to check my assertion, I came across this: [url]https://3dprint.com/122337/nanoscribe-microscale-printing/[/url] Resolution on the order of ONE micron. Not printing metal or anything structural, but the resolution is there. I see claims of 33 microns for sintered titanium, but I assume its strength isn't there yet, and I'm pretty sure 33 microns wouldn't be adequate to make a convincing coin. It would be hard to avoid visible artifacts from stairsteps on smoothly and gently curved regions. And, of course, IBM was pushing individual atoms around a decade or or so ago -- but there's a big gap between that and making things [I]large[/I] enough to see.[/QUOTE]
