NanoPro Revolutionizes 2PP 3D Printing with Industrial-Scale Micropart Production Service

UpNano starts a new chapter in high precision two-photon polymerization (2PP) 3D printing with the launch of their NanoPro service. A newly developed printer model acts as the powerful engine that runs the new service, offering serial production of microparts with nanometer-resolution.

Vienna, Austria 19 November 2024 – UpNano GmbH (Vienna, Austria) today unveiled the world’s first 2-photon polymerization (2PP) 3D printer built for industrial mass production of microparts – the NanoPro VT. Presented at the international trade fair, Formnext, in Frankfurt, Germany, the new high-performance printer is the engine that powers the company’s new NanoPro service, offering high-volume production of microparts for industrial manufacturing processes – something that hasn’t been achievable until now. The machine uses extremely efficient and cost-effective mechanisms, finally allowing 2PP 3D printing of polymeric microparts at a mass-production scale. Offered as a fully integrated service, the use of the NanoPro VT marks the beginning of a new era for industry.

The funds raised will allow UpNano to accelerate the development of its next generation 2-photon polymerization (2PP) 3D printing technology at a time when this innovative technology is becoming an integral part of many industrial processes.

Material Testing of 2PP 3D-Printed Parts

First Standardized Material Testing of 2PP 3D-Printed Parts

UpNano printers and resins for macroscopic test specimens. Superior properties compared to conventional resin-based 3D printing.

Vienna, Austria, 22 February 2024 – For the first time, mechanical properties of 2PP 3D-fabricated bulk specimens in the mm to cm range have been tested using established standardized methods. This breakthrough was made possible by combining the use of the fastest commercially available 2PP 3D-printer (NanoOne) with resins that can be processed at very high volumetric build rates, enabling upscaling. The test results, now published in “Advanced Materials”, demonstrate the superior material quality of the UpPhoto and UpDraft resins compared to an acrylate resin (ETA/TTA). In addition, both materials are fully cured immediately after printing, eliminating the need for post-treatment. A multinational collaboration involving researchers from Technical University Vienna (TU Wien), California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the RWTH Aachen University, along with materials experts from UpNano GmbH conducted the comprehensive study.
