(Nanoscribe: Karlsruhe, Germany) -- Nanoscribe, a BICO company, announces the launch of the Quantum X shape, a high-precision 3D printer for rapid prototyping and wafer-scale batch production. With the Quantum X shape, high-precision 3D printing becomes significantly more efficient in terms of printing on wafers up to 6 inches in size. This gain in efficiency is particularly important for research lab and industrial manufacturing processes such as in life sciences, material engineering, microfluidics, microoptics, micromechanics, and for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Alongside Quantum X, the first two-photon grayscale lithography system, which was launched in 2019 and is specialized on surface patterning, the new Quantum X shape offers improved 3D microfabrication capabilities. The Quantum X shape enables high-precision additive manufacturing, where accuracy and speed can be optimally balanced to achieve the highest level of productivity and quality. The industry-proven Quantum X platform provides state-of-the-art microfabrication processes from nano- to meso-sized structures and is suitable for wafer-level batch processing.
