The Nanoscribe system is a laser lithography system allowing 3D printing of true 3-dimensional microscale and nanoscale based on two photon polymerization in UV-curable photoresists. The system can utilize specifically designed IP-photoresists optimized for 3D microfabrication, but can also employ custom polymers developed by the user. The direct laser writing technology is a powerful platform for a wide variety of high-impact applications of direct interest to Clark School faculty including micro-optics and photonics, opto-electronics, energy systems, sensors, material research, and nanotechnologies for the life sciences. The system enables micro/nano structures that are impossible to realize using traditional photolithography or other patterning methods.
There are three main objectives that the machine is capable of printing in, with their specifications detailed below.

Detailed Materials:
We currently stock the resins: IP-Q, IP-PDMS, IP-S, IP-Visio, IP-G, and IP-DIP2
Exact specifications can be acquired by emailing terrapinworks@umd.edu, or inquiring to Nanoscribe on their website.
We are capable of working with resins and substrates that we do not have stocked, but the customer will need to provide materials. We have a refridgerator on site for cold storage if custom resins require it.
Usage Pricing:
$25/hr for setup and post processing
$35/hr for print time (includes material cost)
