We are open
when it comes to material

In addition to the materials offered, commercially available resins and established 2PP printing materials can be used with the printing system. The UpNano material experts are happy to assist in the selection of materials or the development of customer-specific materials.

UpThermo powered by Cubicure

Logo UpThermo

The UpThermo material was co-developed by UpNano and Cubicure. It is the first heat- and impact-resistant 2PP printing material on the market. The priority Hot Lithography® technology, which has been successfully integrated into the NanoOne printing systems, enables the printing of the highly viscous material in the usual high 2PP quality and resolution.

UpNano UpThermo material
UpNano_XpectInx_XHydroBioINXU200
x HYDROBIO INX U200

Gelatin-based hydrogel resin
Cell interactive, gelatin type B-based hydrogel, derived from natural collagen. Unique two-component bioresin enabling printing in the presence of living cells with low auto­fluoresence. Suitable for light- and laser-scanning microscopy, biodegradable and non-cytotoxic (ISO 10993-5).

Key properties

Biocompatibility
Supports cell encapsulation, adhesion and proliferation.

Reproducibility
Production under strict quality control.

Biodegradability
Enables cellular remodelling of the printed matrix.

Easy handling
Delivered in a ready-to-use kit containing a concentrated stock solution, dilution buffer, developer and crosslinker for 10 prints in the presence or absence of cells. Ready for printing in 10 min.

DEGRAD INX U100

Polyester-based, biodegradable resin
Robust, biodegradable thin-film material (2–5 years), solid state cross-linking: suitable for both bottom-up and top-down printing. Extremely high resolution (<500 nm), supports overhangs, for cell seeding, non-­cytotoxic (ISO 10993-5).

HYDROTECH INX_U100

Technical thin-film hydrogel
Bioinert, synthetic hydrogel material for bottom-up and top-down printing with high mechanical integrity. No structural deformation in aqueous medium, due to low water absorption capacity. Suitable for cell seeding, non cytotoxic (ISO 10993-5).

HYDROTECH INX_U200

Synthetic, technical hydrogel
Bioinert, mechanically robust, soft and flexible hydrogel resin. Orange-red viscous liquid, allowing for VAT mode or in-chip printing. White flexible solid after development in dry state. Opaque when swollen in water. SEM imaging compatible because of its drying and rehydrating properties. Suitable for cell seeding, non-degradable, non cytotoxic (ISO 10993-5).

Dispensing, the clean and precise way

The UpNano resins are supplied in practical resealable cartridges. With the help of manual or automatic dispensing systems, the material can be dispensed into the material vat or substrate with high precision and without dripping.
