By varying the lattice spacing and the height of the lattice rods between 0.25 and 1.2\u03bcm, the team could produce 3D printed structures that generate all the colours of the visible spectrum, many of which do not occur in the butterfly itself.

ETH Zurich argued that the team\u2019s work could eventually be used as a security feature on banknotes and other documents. It also contended that since the colours can be produced with transparent material, it would also be possible to manufacture colour filters for optical technologies. In addition, the team claimed that large-scale production of nanostructures was also conceivable. For example, a 3D printable negative structure could work as a template, which would enable the manufacturing of large numbers of reproductions. This means that the team’s principle could be suitable for the manufacture of high-resolution colour displays, such as thin bendable screens. Finally, the team noted that structural colours could replace the pigments currently used in printing and painting, arguing that they do not fade when exposed to light and usually have a better environmental footprint.<\/p>\n
