In this work, we propose an innovative strategy for obtaining functional objects employing a light-activated three-dimensional (3D) printing process without affecting the materials' printability. In particular, a dye is a necessary ingredient in a formulation for a digital light processing 3D printing method to obtain precise and complex structures. Here, we use a photoluminescent dye specifically synthesized for this purpose that enables the production of 3D printed waveguides and splitters able to guide the luminescence. Moreover, copolymerizing the dye with the polymeric network during the printing process, we are able to maintain the solvatochromic properties of the dye toward different solvents in the printed structures, enabling the development of solvents' polarity sensors.
