Terahertz　metamaterial　absorbers　(THz　MAs)　have　attracted　significant　attention　for　their　unprecedented　ability　to　modulate　the　incident　terahertz　wave　effectively.　Prevalent　manufacturing　of　THz　MAs　has　been　mainly　restricted　by　the　traditional　micro-nano　fabrication　technique　due　to　their　micro-scale　characteristic　size　of　the　unit　cell.　However,　conventional　fabrication　technique　has　been　suffered　by　the　involvement　of　multi-step　and　time-consuming　processes　as　well　as　expensive　facilities.　To　overcome　these　bottlenecks,　we　have　proposed　a　novel　and　efficient　fabrication　technique　based　on　the　projection　micro-stereolithography　3D　printing　followed　by　the　electron　beam　evaporation　coating　to　manufacture　the　THz　MAs　additively.　A　typical　cross-shaped　MA　is　taken　into　account　as　the　prototype　to　demonstrate　the　effectiveness　of　the　proposed　technique.　A　broadband　and　a　triple-band　MA　are　then　realized　by　combining　four　cross-shaped　resonators　and　the　alternative　of　the　cross-shaped　resonator.　Both　experimental　measurements　and　theoretical　simulation　exhibit　the　expected　absorption　performance　of　three　types　of　3D　printed　MA　samples　in　the　THz　band.　It　can　be　estimated　that　the　proposed　3D　printed　technique　provides　a　simple　but　universal　fabrication　approach　for　the　THz　MAs　and　paves　the　avenue　toward　its　foreseeable　applications　on　the　versatile　design　and　manufacturing　of　functional　THz　devices.　©　2021　Elsevier　B.V.
