Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT+ 3D Printing
LEAP @ WPI/QCC is home to the Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT+ for research and rapid prototyping needs. Nanoscribe’s DeScribe software and hardware make the complete 3D printing workflow easy to transform standard and existing computer-aided design (CAD) models into micro- and mesoscale 3D printed parts with sub-micrometer resolution on glass or silicon substrates. The Nanoscribe Photonic Professional GT+ is ideal for patterning and replicating structures for photonics as well as biomimetics, microfluidics, and cell scaffolding applications and is available to for-profit companies and external university usage through a pay per use or fee for service engagement. The LEAP facility is equipped with a variety of objective lenses for use with the Nanoscribe including 63x, 25x, 20x, and 10 along with the following Nanoscribe resins: IP-Dip, IP-S, IP-Q, and IP-PDMS.
