Scaling up nano- and microfabrication
From mastering by 2GL to mass production
using replication technologies
Interested in how to scale up the fabrication of advanced nano- and microstructures on an industrial scale? Then be part of the upcoming live webinar with technology experts on 3D Microfabrication and subsequent replication processes.
With Two-Photon Grayscale Lithography (2GL ®), a powerful additive manufacturing technology is available for rapid prototyping and master fabrication. Combined with various well-established replication technologies such as nanoimprint lithography (NIL), micro-injection molding, roll-to-roll printing or hot embossing, 2GL is the starting point and key to mass production of state-of-the-art microstructures.
Experience the strengths of 2GL rapid prototyping and mastering technology in a live webinar demo. Discover from experts how to ramp up your industrial production with high performance, high quality and long-term reliability.
Dr. Marek Krehel, 3D AG, will introduce technology options and process steps for industrial upscaling of nano- and microfabrication. He will outline the choices for microstructure master fabrication, focus on different shim families and give a systematic overview of the different upscaling concepts such as microinjection molding, hot embossing, nanoimprint lithography and roll-to-roll. Finally, he will benchmark their application potentials.
Dr. Aaron Kobler, Nanoscribe, will give an introduction on the capabilities of Two-Photon Grayscale Lithography (2GL)-based microfabrication with a special focus on master fabrication. He will showcase the strengths of 2GL for rapid prototyping and mastering with a Quantum X live demo. He will lead us through the complete workflow from design to final master, exploiting the performance of the 2GL microfabrication technology.
Christine Thanner, EV Group, will present the opportunities of nanoimprint lithography (NIL) for mass production, introducing us to the technology principles, process steps from 2GL mastering to high-volume imprints and highlight some outstanding applications. She will also illustrate how UV-NIL technologies can transition ultra-fine and complex nano- and microstructures into large-area and large-volume replicas.
