Model: Photonic GT2

Nanoscribe's Photonic Professional GT2 uses Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP) to produce filigree structures of nearly any 3D shape by high-precision 3D printing: crystal lattices, porous scaffolds, naturally inspired patterns, smooth contours, sharp edges, undercuts and bridges are all manufacturable with high resolution. More than a thousand successful research projects by Nanoscribe customers and system users are evidence of the power of two-photon lithography.
