Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT2 3D Printer
Overview
General Description
The Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT2 uses Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP) to produce filigree structures of nearly any 3D shape by high-precision 3D printing: crystal lattices, porous scaffolds, naturally inspired patterns, smooth contours, sharp edges, undercuts and bridges are all manufacturable with high resolution. The printer is capable of printing in Mesoscale, and all the way down to Nanoscale, and is designed around work in Microfluidics, Micromechanics, Micro optics, Photonics and plasmonics, Biomedical applications, and Nanostructures.
