MPO 100

Multi-User Tool For 3D Lithography And 3D Microprinting

The MPO 100 is a Two-Photon Polymerization (TPP) Multi-User Tool for 3D Lithography and 3D Microprinting of microstructures with applications in micro-optics, photonics, micromechanics and biomedical engineering. The modular 3D printing platform MPO 100 offers high precision on demand for 3D Lithography as well as high print volume for 3D Microprinting and enables production of complex functional microstructures with high throughput in a single process step.

The MPO 100 includes a powerful femtosecond laser system operating at a wavelength of 522 nm, thereby enabling efficient and high-speed processing of many commercially available polymer systems. Among those is the industry-proven class of inorganic-organic hybrid polymers known as ORMOCER®. This class of materials provides unique optical, mechanical and chemical properties. In addition, as many photoresists exhibit high sensitivity at the 522 nm TPP wavelength the MPO 100 is an ideal tool for R&D to develop new material systems.

1 – 10 – 100 – 1000

Application-specific write modes enable fast and easy switching between 3D Lithography and 3D Microprinting. Macro structures with a height of over 1 cm can be fabricated as well as micro structures with superior surface quality exhibiting a roughness of down to 10 nm. The achievable minimum feature size of down to 100 nm and the accessible scan speed of over 1000 mm/s provide full user benefit for tailored 3D nano-, micro- and macro fabrication processes.
