Despite its numerous benefits, 3D micro printing faces several challenges:
1. Material Limitations: While a variety of materials can be used, not all materials are suitable for micro printing, particularly those that require high thermal stability or specific mechanical properties.
2. Cost: The equipment and materials required for 3D micro printing can be expensive, making it less accessible for some applications.
3. Complexity: The technology requires highly specialized knowledge and skills to operate, which can be a barrier to widespread adoption.
4. Throughput: The process can be time-consuming for large-scale production, limiting its use to small-batch manufacturing and prototyping.
