Nanoscribe introduces a brand new 3D microfabrication expertise: 3D printing by 2GL. Two-photon grayscale lithography (2GL) for 3D nano- and microfabrication merges the excessive decision of 2-photon polymerization (2PP) with a voxel tuning course of to realize fewer printing layers. This makes 2GL a quick 2PP-based 3D printing expertise with form accuracy and print high quality. For this reason 3D grayscale printing is now supplied as a brand new characteristic for Quantum X align.
Nanoscribe’s Quantum X platform, with its 2GL expertise for additive manufacturing of optical-grade 2D and a couple of.5D microstructures, is a answer for industrial manufacturing and mastering of microoptics. Now, Nanoscribe takes the voxel tuning expertise to a brand new stage by introducing 3D printing by 2GL as an addition to the aligned 2-photon lithography (A2PL) options of Quantum X align.
The printing course of depends on dynamic modulation of laser energy in actual time whereas scanning at highest velocity. This leads to a exact dimension adjustment of the polymerizing voxel to match the contours of any 3D form. 3D printing by 2GL ensures optical-grade surfaces and wonderful, submicron options, with none slicing steps or form distortion, simply the true form of any 3D print design.
3D printing by 2GL is a quick 2PP-based microfabrication expertise. Its dynamic voxel tuning requires considerably fewer printing layers to realize print outcomes with optical-grade, clean in addition to nanostructured surfaces.
Nanoscribe’s Quantum X align with its Aligned 2-Photon Lithography A2PL is provided with this new printing expertise, supported by the superior aligner software program nanoPrintX. Quantum X align is optimized for printing microoptical parts with excessive placement accuracy and robotically aligned on optical fibers and photonic chips.
