Questions & Answers
-
Two-photon polymerization (2PP) printing is a high-resolution 3D printing technique that uses ultra-short laser pulses to cure a photosensitive resin. This process involves the absorption of two photons simultaneously by the resin, which triggers polymerization only at the focal point of the laser. This precision allows for the creation of intricate micro- and nanoscale structures with feature sizes below 100 nm. 2PP is ideal for applications requiring extreme detail, such as photonics, biomedical devices, and microfluidic systems.

The resolution is generally considered the thinnest line (Critical Dimension) that can be produced and proven solid by printing it suspended between two objects. For the NanoOne Red models, it is <150 nm in the XY plane. For the NanoOne Green, as the laser wavelength is shorter, the resolution is <100 nm in XY plane.

As it’s a light-based printing method, different microscope objectives can be selected and therefore different resolutions can be easily selected and modified. Higher resolution offers enhanced shape accuracy and enables significantly tighter tolerance control.
