(Nanoscribe: Karlsruhe, Germany) -- Nanoscribe, a BICO company, has introduced a new 3D microfabrication technology called 3D printing by 2GL.

Two-photon grayscale lithography (2GL) is setting new standards for 3D nano- and microfabrication. The technology merges the high resolution of two-photon polymerization (2PP) with a patented voxel-tuning process to achieve significantly fewer printing layers. This makes 2GL the fastest 2PP-based 3D printing technology with unparalleled shape accuracy and superior print quality. It paves the way for new applications, such as manufacturing even more filigree microoptical systems, along with producing higher quality in much shorter print times. This is why 3D grayscale printing is now offered as a new feature for Quantum X align.

Nanoscribe’s Quantum X platform for additive manufacturing of optical-grade 2D and 2.5D microstructures has become the preferred solution for industrial manufacturing and mastering of microoptics. Now, nanoscribe improves voxel tuning technology by introducing 3D printing by 2GL to the aligned two-photon lithography (A2PL) features of Quantum X align.
