Nanoprinting
3D printing involves taking a model and slicing into layers, then printing these layers on top of one another to recreate a 3D component. It’s an incredibly quick way to produce unique parts, or for small production runs, and is massively useful when wanting to quickly create prototypes.3D Printing at the nanoscale can help drastically reduce the cost and time drains of prototyping novel technologies and devices by rapidly creating new iterations.

2 Photon 3D Printer- NanoOne 1000
2 photon printer
SA Node
University of South Australia
Description

Nanno 3D printer- Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT
100-nanometre resolution 3D printer
QLD Node
University of Queensland
Description
3D Printing with a minimum voxel size of 100 x 350 nm. The dual photon technology is used to construct high resolution and complex structures in polymers (such as AZ resist, SU8 and proprietary IP resists from Nanoscribe).
Related Information
Uses a IR femto second laser to concentrate pulses to within a small polymerisation volume equivalent to UV light. Within this volume polymerisation occurs to create nanoscale 3D structures. Resists sensitive to UV light can be used. Substrates can be up to 5 inch square.

Description
The NanoScribe Photic Professional GT2 (PPGT2) is a direct laser lithography system that uses two-photon polymerisation for additive 3D printing. A focal spot volume is defined by an IR femtosecond laser that concentrates light pulses and within this volume polymerisation occurs. The X-, Y- and Z-coordinate of a CAD model is defined by a focal spot volume, allowing for a CAD design to be printed as a 3D nanostructure layer-by-layer.
Related Information
Two-photon polymerization is based on the principle of photopolymerization. Here, targeted exposure to light triggers the polymerization, or the process to bring monomers together to create a polymer chain, of synthetic resins. This chain reaction causes the molecules to bond and harden, resulting in 3D models.
