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.
