Principle In classical photolithography, a pattern is transferred onto a photoresist layer by exposing UV light through a hard photomask. Our Smart Print UV (SP-UV) maskless lithography system uses the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) technology to eliminate the need for a mask. A DMD chip is made out of millions of micromirrors which can rotate and either reflect light or not. This allows the projection of a detailed image onto the substrate, and gives the user a straightforward way to move from the design directly to the patterned sample without the use of a standard mask. The lack of photomask means more flexibility, and faster overall fabrication time. Resolution & exposure area Our quick-release objective technology gives users access to four different writing resolutions to combine writing precision and speed: use the 1X to expose big surfaces with a 15 µm resolution, and switch to the 10X to reach a 1.5 µm resolution. For designs larger than the single exposure area, or that require a high resolution and large exposure area, our in-house software Phaos cuts the design into multiple sub-images, and exposes them automatically as a raster scan. Alignment SP-UV integrates a secondary yellow LED source coupled with a feedback camera for focusing, inspection and alignment. This allows the user to align to previously made structures intuitively and precisely, either by projecting the second layer on top of the sample or by using alignment marks. Substrates & photoresists Work with a wide range of substrates: from silicon wafer to glass slides, and even more. Our objective range has been carefully selected with a large working distance (up to 3 cm) to make SP-UV compatible with non-standard substrates (non-flat, flexible, thick, 2D materials…). We can work with you to make custom sample holders for your specific needs. SP-UV is equipped with a 385 nm LED source to be compatible with standard g-, h- and i-line photoresists (such as SU-8, AZ1500 and many more).

Open 3D-microfabrication platform for research applications microFAB-3D is an ultra-high resolution 3D-printing system, based on two-photon polymerization direct laser writing technology. With a minimal feature size down to 0.2-microns-wide, this machine opens new perspectives in microfluidics, micro-optics, cells culture, micro-robotics or meta-materials. Open and evolutive, it can be adapted to fit your needs. 3D-PRINT AT THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION Feel the power of two-photon polymerization and print features down to 200 nanometers wide! The highest resolution is achievable with any configuration of microFAB-3D, from Basic to Advanced. A UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY Our innovative micro-printing systems rely on industrial lasers with unique characteristics, in terms of highest printing-resolution, compactness, cost-efficiency and flexibility of use. It also provides better reliability because these industrial lasers last a very long time with no need for yearly maintenance. PRINT THE MOST COMPLEX STRUCTURES Unlike conventionnal 3D-printing technologies, our direct laser writing technology allows us to get rid of the traditionnal "layer-by-layer" approach. You can therefore print the most complex architectures, with no need of support material or post processing, and enhanced mechanical properties. ADAPT THE RESOLUTION THROUGHOUT THE FABRICATION Our software allows you to adapt the printing resolution during the fabrication. Use a big voxel to print faster, and a smaller one to create the more complex features! PRINT ON THE TIP OF OPTICAL FIBERS Align and print on structured substrates, or directly on the tip of optical fibers of various dimensions, at a precision of 1 µm. Custom holders are available for unconventional ferrules or automated printing on multiple fibers. UPGRADE FROM STANDARD TO ADVANCED EASILY microFAB-3D can evolve easily depending on your needs and resources. You may explore 3D-microprinting at high resolution with microFAB-3D.Standard, and upgrade it afterwards to microFAB-3D.Advanced for large range replications, auto-focus, a second laser, and many other features. Technology microFAB-3D systems use a unique green-laser based two-photon polymerization technology to create 3D objects at unprecedented precision. With this technology, Microlight3D can bring to the market a system with unique characteristics, in terms of highest printing-resolution, compactness, reliability and flexibility of use.
