The utilization of 3D printing has brought forth a plethora of opportunities in the creation of micron-scale structures using diverse nanomaterials, revolutionizing various fields. This study introduces a solution evaporation-assisted 3D printing technique for the fabrication of heterogeneous microstructures embedded with colloidal quantum dots (QDs), aiming to enhance their utility and applicability. Through this innovative approach, we achieved the successful integration of QDs within a variety of microstructural configurations, encompassing microlenses, microwires, and multi-component architectures. Systematic optical characterization of these hybrid structures revealed distinctive properties, emphasizing their potential for a wide range of practical optical applications. Our research underscores the practicality and high versatility of solution evaporation-based 3D printing in realizing complex microstructures integrated with quantum dots, offering enhanced functionality and broadened scope for future applications.
