KIT Spin-off “Nanoscribe“ Presents High-speed 3D Printer
At the Photonics West, the leading international fair for
photonics taking place in San Francisco (USA) this week, Nanoscribe GmbH, a
spin-off of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), presents the world’s
fastest 3D printer of micro- and nanostructures. With this printer, smallest
three-dimensional objects, often smaller than the diameter of a human hair, can
be manufactured with minimum time consumption and maximum resolution. The
printer is based on a novel laser lithography method.
“The success of Nanoscribe is an example of KIT’s excellent
entrepreneurial culture and confirms our strategy of specifically supporting
spin-offs. In this way, research results are transferred rapidly and
sustainably to the market,” says Dr. Peter Fritz, KIT Vice President for
Research and Innovation. In early 2008, Nanoscribe was founded as the first
spin-off of KIT and has since established itself as the world’s market and
technology leader in the area of 3D laser lithography.
