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_XpectInx_XHydroBioINXU200
x HYDROBIO INX U200

HydrobioINX© is a gelatin based hydrogel developed specifically for UpNano. It provides all the biological benefits of conventional gelatin based materials in combination with two photon polymerization processability enhanced by a high reactivity and fast curing speed.

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.

UpNano_hydrotech INX U100
HYDROTECH INX_U100

HydrotechINX© U100 is a polyester-based resin for specially developed for 2-photon polymerization. It is the first ever biodegradable ink that combines the benefits of biocompatibility, flexibility and easy processability resulting in a detail resolution smaller than 500 nm. The material is suitable for the fabrication of 3D complex architectures for tissue engineering applications.

DEGRAD INX U100

DegradINX© U100 is a synthetic resin for the printing of a hydrogel microstructures using the 2-photon polymerization process of UpNano. The material is suitable for the fabrication of 3D complex architectures for tissue engineering applications.
