Abstract: miniature devices comprising stimulus-responsive hydrogels with high environmental
adaptability are now considered competitive candidates in the fields of biomedicine,
precise sensors, and tunable optics. Reliable and advanced fabrication methods are
critical for maximizing the application capabilities of miniature devices. Light-based
three-dimensional (3D) printing technology offers the advantages of a wide range of
applicable materials, high processing accuracy, and strong 3D fabrication capability,
which is suitable for the development of miniature devices with various functions. This
paper summarizes and highlights the recent advances in light-based3D-printed
miniaturized devices, with a focus on the latest breakthroughs in light-based fabrication
technologies, smart stimulus-responsive hydrogels, and tunable miniature devices for the fields of miniature cargo manipulation, targeted drug and cell delivery, active
scaffolds, environmental sensing, and optical imaging. Finally, the challenges in the
transition of tunable miniaturized devices from the laboratory to practical engineering
applications are presented. Future opportunities that will promote the development of
tunable microdevices are elaborated, contributing to their improved understanding of
these miniature devices and further realizing their practical applications in various
fields.
