3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing
Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT
Two Photon Lithography
The highest resolution commercially available 3D printer. The system utilizes two-photon polymerisation of various UV-Curable photoresists to fabricate complex shaped structures with finest feature sizes in the sub-micrometer range. In addition, the Photonic Professional GT allows for the fabrication of high-resolution photo masks and other direct write applications.
