Technology & Products
Key Products
Laser Nanofactory; MPP 3D Printing Services; Selective Laser Etching (SLE) Services; Custom Micro-optical Components
Technological Advantage
Proprietary integration of Multiphoton Polymerization (MPP) and Selective Laser Etching (SLE) allows for the creation of complex 3D micro-fluidic channels and micro-optics that are impossible with single-process machines.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables sub-micron 3D micro-fabrication in glass and polymers using a single hybrid workstation, reducing lead times for complex micro-components by integrating additive (MPP) and subtractive (SLE) processes.
How They Differentiate
Unlike competitors focused solely on polymer MPP (Nanoscribe) or high-speed MPP (UpNano), Femtika provides a hybrid platform that includes Selective Laser Etching (SLE) for glass micro-structuring.
