N2 - Regardless of the technology, additive or subtractive, the miniaturization trend is constantlypushing for smaller resolutions. The rise of global challenges in material availability, fabrication in threedimensions (3D), design flexibility and rapid prototyping have pushed additive manufacturing (AM) into thespotlight. Addressing the miniaturization trend, AM has already successfully answered the challenges formicroscale 3D fabrication. However, fabricating nano-resolution still presents a challenge. In this review,we will present some of the most reported AM-based technologies capable of nanoscale 3D fabricationaddressing resolutions of ≤ 500 nm. The focus is placed on Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing (alsoknown as e-jet printing), as EHD printing seems to have the best trade-off when it comes to techniquecomplexity, achievable resolutions, material diversity and potential to scale-up throughput. An overview ofthe smallest achieved resolutions as well as the most unique use cases and demonstrated applications will beaddressed in this work.
