Wishing you a happy Chinese New Year
新年快乐!
This tiny Fire Horse was 3D printed using our Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP) technology. A real horsehair shows the scale.
At this scale, it’s not just miniaturization: it’s about functional microstructures for optics & beyond🔬
Three days. One team. Full focus on what’s next. 🚀
Last week our global sales team met at Nanoscribe HQ to reset after a strong 2025.
Best practices, product deep dives — and one key question: how do we help customers make the right technical decisions with confidence?
Same complex structures, same print time – but 3D printing by 2GL® delivers smoother surfaces, sharper edges and higher shape accuracy, which means no trade-off between precision and speed and up to 60× higher throughput.
