Response to “Comment on Rapid Assembly of Small Materials Building Blocks (Voxels) into Large Functional 3D Metamaterials”

Abstract

In a previous publication, numerous different 3D printing technologies were reviewed, projection-based temporal-focusing 3D printing being one of them. There, one condensed paragraph is dedicated to discussing the proximity effect for said 3D printing approach, based on a publication by Saha et al. (2019). In a comment, Saha and Chen (2020) criticized the discussion on projection-based temporal-focusing 3D printing. In this response, the discussion on the proximity effect is expanded and aspects addressed in the comment by Saha and Chen (2020) are clarified.
