This is nanoscale CNC type technology...very cool. It will be interesting to see where it leads:

Hi Adrian,

its really interesting stuff and give some ideas for meso-/macro-scale-fabbing with 'vanishing' materials smileys with beer

I know similar 'macro'-systems with a soldering bit vanishing styrofoam - my father made his mountains for a model-train with this methode.

I remember a post in the forum where someone modelled wax-blocks with a heated needle sucking the molten wax away ...

Ah, this is a nice opportunity to point to a nano scale cartesian bot design I fell in love with. See the 'Disk Scanner' links here:

... i have some piezoleg-motors which are powered with 12 Volts, have a traveling range of 25mm and a step-resolution of 150 nanometer stepping and could be optimized (possibly but complicated/expensive) for 'bending' between the steps so they can resolve sub-nanometers.

In past i built some cartesian 3-axis-systems for microassembly, but this can be repeated for nano-/microfabbing too grinning smiley
