“Until today photopolymers, that are used for 2PP-based high-resolution 3D printing could not be characterized properly” explains Aleksandr Ovsianikov, Prof. at the TU Wien and co-founder of UpNano. “It was nearly impossible to print test specimens for standardized mechanical testing, since the smallest one requires a length of 2 cm. With the NanoOne we can easily print specimens larger than 3.5 cm and produce enough for statistical analysis, thus enabling mechanical testing in accordance with ISO standards”.
It is planned to characterize several important mechanical properties, including tensile, flexural and creep modulus, as well as the degree of polymerization of printed test specimens for further industrial use.

UpNano
Founded in September 2018 as a spin out of the TU Wien, UpNano is a Viennabased high-tech company with the focus on development, manufacturing and commercialization of high-resolution 3D printing systems based on 2-photon polymerization. With the first commercial product, the printing system NanoOne, microparts with structure details down to 200 nm can be printed. Due to the very fast printing process, also meso scale parts up to several centimeters in height can be realized.
