Nanoscribe develops and produces 3D printers and grayscale lithography systems as well as specially developed printing materials and application-specific solutions for various microfabrication applications. The specialist for additive manufacturing of high-precision structures and objects on the nano-, micro- and mesoscale was founded in 2007 as a spin-off of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and is part of the BICO Group since June 2021. More than 4,000 users and operators at top universities and innovative companies worldwide benefit from the groundbreaking technology and application-tailored solutions for 3D Microfabrication. Nanoscribe has built its strong market leadership position through high quality engineering and the agility to continuously develop its products to meet the high expectations of its customers.

The wide range of possible applications in research, prototyping and industrial production processes especially addresses photonics technologies such as photonics packaging, microoptics, diffractive optics and waver-level optics. With Nanoscribe Quantum X align, we support precisely aligned 3D printing on optical fibers and photonic chips, enabling innovative approaches to photonic integration. This reduces coupling losses by matching mode fields at the component level rather than the chip level. Auto-aligned, high-precision 3D printing advances the fabrication of microoptical components directly on photonic chips and fiber cores
