Recent Biomedical Applications Of 3D Microprinting (3D Printing Europe 2019)

I will present the possibilities of using Nanoscribe's 3D microprinting technology and highlight customer applications in the fields of medicine and biology. The technology allows for the straightforward printing of virtually any 3D object, with linewidths and line-distances down to 0.2 µm and 0.5 µm, respectively. At the same time, it allows for total sample sizes in the range of several millimeters. Thus, tailored objects can be fabricated for interacting with both the macroscopic world and microscopic objects, e.g. with small blood vessels or even individual cells.

In 2013, Jochen Zimmer received his doctorate at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in the field of superconducting nanostructures. For several years he worked in the macro-3D printing industry (for INDMATEC GmbH and Stratasys GmbH MakerBot Division) before joining Nanoscribe GmbH as a Sales Manager in spring 2017.

Nanoscribe provides high-resolution 3D printers for microfabrication as well as photoresins and process solutions. The award-winning systems combine maskless lithography and additive manufacturing in one device. The two-photon polymerization driven systems set new standards in diverse applications, e.g. photonics, mechanical metamaterials, MEMS, micro-optics, and life sciences. Worldwide, more than 1,000 users in top universities and pioneer companies benefit from this cutting-edge technology.
