The next winner of the 2019 formnext start-up challenge is focused on 3D printing glass. The method and silica nanocomposite material developed have high optical transparency and the same mechanical strength and hardness of commercial fused silica glass. I caught up with Dr. Frederik Kotz, the co-founder and Chief Science Officer at Glassomer to learn […]
Nanoscribe introduces Quantum X, a two-photon 3D printer for microoptics
Nanoscribe, a German manufacturer of two-photon additive manufacturing systems has introduced a new machine, the Quantum X. The latest system uses two-photon lithography for fabricating nano-sized refractive and diffractive micro-optics which can be as small as 200 microns. Breaking the law According to Dr. Michael Thiel, co-founder and CSO of Nanoscribe, “Beer’s law imposes strong limitations […]
Nanoscribe joins photonics and quantum research program MiLiQuant
Nanoscribe, a German specialist of nano-scale 3D printing, has joined MiLiQuant. Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), MiLiQuant is a three-year project to develop diode laser-based light sources. Nanoscribe will join Bosch, the optics company Zeiss, and quantum technology specialist Q.ANT on the MiLiQuant program. The consortium also includes Paderborn Univerisity and […]
