But the new technology can realize it in high resolution. \u00a0Our 3D e-jet printing technology will provide a new paradigm in the research field of 3D printing as well as wearable device since it can produce ultra-fine 3D patterns which have been hardly achieved with current 3D printing approaches&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a
