A method for high resolution projection micro stereolithography for 3-D printing comprising: generating a 3D digital model of the sample to be printed in a computer, slicing the digital model into a sequence of images, wherein each of the images of the sequence represents a layer of the 3D digital model, positioning a transparent printing head relative to a resin vat containing a photo-sensitive resin, moving the transparent printing head into position for selectively exposing the photosensitive resin, sending an image from the sequence of images to a LCD or DLP chip, and together with a light source projecting the image through a lens onto the flat tip of the transparent printing head to initiate cure of the photosensitive resin in areas where the projected image allows light from the light source to reach the photosensitive resin.

Immersion projection micro stereolithography

An autonomous transport robot for transporting a payload, the autonomous transport robot includes a payload bed having at least one reference datum surface and at least one payload justification device, the at least one payload justification device being configured to position a payload on the payload bed in substantial contact with the at least one reference datum surface to place the payload in a predetermined position on the payload bed.

Storage material handling system

A storage fill and retrieval system includes fixed storage locations distributed in a storage space and defining at least one human pick zone having at least one collection tote location, at least one autonomous mobile robot configured for holding and transporting a tote within the storage space and having an end effector arranged for autonomous transfer of the tote between the at least one robot and a tote holding station and a collection tote location, and a storage management system communicably connected to the at least one robot and configured to associate each robot with a human pick zone, wherein the at least one robot is configured to transport the tote to the collection tote location of each associated human pick zone, and wherein each collection tote location is arranged for human picker access and defines an interface between a human picker and the at least one robot.
