The Nanoscribe Photonics Professional GT is a 3D printer with sub-micron resolution and feature sizes down to 200 nm. Using a laser, a liquid photoresist can be solidified within a very small volume (“voxel”). This voxel can be moved with high precision allowing the fabrication of 3D structures of almost any shape. Printing can be achieved with a wide range of photoresists and on a variety of substrates. The many potential applications of the Nanoscribe include micro-optics, cell scaffolds, microfluidics, micromechanics and microparticle synthesis.
The 3D microprinting lab is located on the 10th floor of the Huygens building, in the Faculty of Science.
Students and employees of LION can use the Nanoscribe after receiving the relevant training. It is available to other institutes upon request and we can support external academic and industry partners with a service contract. For more information, contact Rachel Doherty.
