  Lithographic Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a newly developed novel process for creating three-dimensional (3D) structures using two-dimensional (2D) layer laminations. In this process, nanomaterials of metals and ceramics are dispersed into resin paste to be used in the original AM processes. In substrate techniques, a high power laser beam is scanned on a spread paste for 2D layer drawing and 3D structure forming. In deposition techniques, the paste is introduced into a high-temperature plasma or gas flame for 2D cladding and 3D patterning. The energy control structures created (i.e., magnetic devices, power modules, heat convertors, acoustic modulators, and vibration absorbers) and material control structures (i.e., fluid filters, grinding tools, and biological implants) will contribute to sustainable development.
