High-Resolution 3D Printers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

UpNano is Debuting the NanoOne Green 3D Printer with Improved Features

— November 13, 2024 — Tech
UpNano, a 3D printing company, has expanded its NanoOne lineup with the release of the NanoOne Green. Equipped with a 515 nm green laser wavelength, the NanoOne Green achieves breakthrough capabilities in creating detailed, high-precision structures, opening doors for optics, microfluidics, and biomedical engineering applications.

The NanoOne Green delivers an impressive 30% increase in resolution compared to conventional 2PP 3D printers, typically using a 780 nm laser. This improvement allows users to produce ultra-fine details with feature widths as small as 100 nm, advancing what is possible in microscale manufacturing and detailed component creation. Moreover, the green laser wavelength enables transparent, biocompatible, and non-fluorescent materials, essential in applications requiring precise, non-reactive materials.

“With the NanoOne green, we have extended our NanoOne product line with a tool that delivers ultra-high-resolution features and paves the way for diverse industrial applications,” said Bernhard Küenburg, CEO of UpNano.
