Universidad de Barcelona has developed a new femptosecond laser writing system LIFT. Laser direct-writing appears to be a very interesting tool for microfabrication, with applications ranging from the well established microelectronics industry to more emerging fields like lab-on-a-chip manufacturing. The best known additive laser-direct writing technique is possibly laser induced forward transfer (LIFT).
