RepRapMicron: a micron-scale 3D printer project
RepRapMicron is a community project focused on building a very small-scale 3D printer capable of micron-level fabrication. The GitHub wiki and HN discussion highlight an open-source approach to pushing additive manufacturing into much finer precision than typical desktop printers. The project appears to be in an early, experimental stage, but it has attracted strong interest from the Hacker News community.
