Part Production
Industrial-scale production for high-yield precision microparts.
Micropart production requires process control from high resolution, throughput and yield to alignment accuracy and surface quality. UpScale is built to deliver that control for demanding industrial applications.
You design, we manufacture.
The first fully integrated 2PP manufacturing service for industrial micropart production, powered by our automated 3D printing system, the NanoPro VT.
Is upscale right for you?
-
Are you in need of further miniaturization of production parts?
-
Are your industrial microparts too small or complex for current technology?
-
Microinjection molding or milling manufacturing options cannot handle your tolerances or design requirements?
-
Your high-volume need of polymeric microparts cannot be satisfied today?

No tooling or post curing required
Peter Gruber
CTO and Co-founder
Scaling precision microparts from development to industrial production requires more than a successful design. It requires a manufacturing partner with the right technology, infrastructure, and production expertise. UpScale combines all three to manufacture customer-specific microparts reliably, reproducibly, and at scale.

From concept to production: a proven path from prototype to industrial scale
As in many other areas of product development or improvement, serial production of microparts needs a stepwise and often iterative process before reproducible and economic manufacturing can kick off.
UpNano has structured and defined this process to ensure the commercial supply and growth of a new product, or improved production workflow can be successfully achieved.
