Problem
Traditional manufacturing technologies struggle to produce increasingly smaller, high-performance micro-components with short development cycles. Tool-based methods often lack the precision and flexibility required for complex geometries and biocompatible materials needed in industries like medtech and optics.
Solution
UpNano provides high-resolution 3D printing solutions based on two-photon polymerization (2PP) for nano- and microfabrication. Their NanoOne platform combines precision with high throughput, enabling the production of components with sub-100 nm feature sizes. The systems use a 515 nm or 780 nm laser wavelength and are compatible with a range of resins, including biocompatible options for bioprinting. UpNano's solutions facilitate the scalable production of prototypes and industrial microparts, addressing the demands of industries requiring innovative manufacturing technologies.
Target Audience
The primary customers are research facilities and industries in electronics, optics, and medtech that require high-precision microfabrication and prototyping solutions.
