Notable Features of the Quantum X shape
One notable printer in their collection is the Quantum X shape, which incorporates an innovative laser lithography system based on two-photon polymerization (2PP). This cutting-edge technology enables rapid prototyping with exceptional precision and design freedom, all within a streamlined workflow. The printer is also capable of wafer-scale batch processing, making it ideal for large-scale production. Furthermore, it has the capability to print up to 200 typical mesoscale structures overnight, demonstrating its efficiency.
The Quantum X shape offers a wide range of application-specific and universal printing materials, making it an open system that provides users with maximum flexibility in material selection. It is compatible with 2PP-specific materials, allowing for compatibility with a variety of options. With the Quantum X shape’s new XLF Print Set, users can achieve printing volumes of up to 30 cubic centimeters in a single step, enhancing productivity and efficiency. The printer is also compatible with software such as DeScribeX, GrayScribeX, and nanoConnectX, providing users with versatile options for their printing needs.
