UpNano

UpNano is a Vienna, Austria-based company specializing in two-photon polymerization (2PP) 3D printing technology. Their flagship product, the NanoOne printer, utilizes a high-power laser and patented adaptive resolution technology to achieve remarkable print speeds while maintaining ultra-high resolution down to 170nm. This printer can create objects ranging from microscopic structures to centimeter-scale parts with micrometer precision across 12 orders of magnitude. The NanoOne's large build volume of 100 x 120 x 40 mm is unparalleled in the 2PP market. UpNano also offers specialized resins like UpBlack for non-transmissive prints and biocompatible materials like UpFlow for bioprinting applications. In September 2022, they released a tilt compensation substrate holder accessory to further enhance print accuracy on large substrates. Their printers have enabled groundbreaking achievements like 3D printing embedded microfluidic chips and tungsten/platinum microstructures with sub-micron resolution.

Key customers and partnerships

UpNano's customer base spans industries like electronics, optics, and medtech, as well as leading research institutions. A notable client is Roche, where researchers have significantly reduced microfluidic chip production time using the NanoOne printer. The printers play a pivotal role in Roche's R&D projects involving chip prototyping and organ-on-chip models.
