Nanoscribe, now a BICO company, launched the Quantum X shape, a new ultra-precise 3D microfabrication system for rapid prototyping and wafer-scale batch production. With the Quantum X shape, high-precision 3D printing becomes significantly more efficient in terms of printing on wafers up to 6 inches in size. This gain in efficiency is particularly important for a research lab and industrial manufacturing processes such as in life sciences, material engineering, microfluidics, micro-optics, micromechanics, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).
Photocentric, the inventor of LCD printing, has launched LC Opus, its quickest LCD printer yet. The rugged LC Opus is fast and accurate, delivering reliable and repeatable performance. With a unique design featuring a custom monochrome screen, the LC Opus comes pre-calibrated and ready to print out of the box. Ideal for a desktop or workbench, the machine is suited for a huge variety of applications and environments.
