neat! i was wondering if that would work last week

i feel like it's probably easier to have 1000 electrodes than 1000 lasers tho

Optics may help to reduce the amount of lasers.

Wonder if using the same approach that resin printers use would work?

• SLA resin printers use a superfast/accurate motorised mirror to direct the laser where its wanted

• mSLA resin printers use a strong light source instead of a laser + an LCD to mask the area they don't want exposed
