Single-photon multi-wavelength polymerization reactions were previously shown to break the diffraction limit in 2D lithography and in some cases used to implement 3D printing techniques. We exploit these types of reactions in combination with a computer driven full-field irradiation method to implement a highly parallel threedimensional micro-fabrication technique. In this manuscript we are presenting the analysis of the advantages and limitations of the method comparing to the state-of-the-art. We believe that, due to high speed and low cost, this fabrication approach will shift the paradigm of micro-3D printing from prototyping and R&D applications to serial production.
