Insiders and analysts predict the 3D printing trends to watch in our latest series of articles focused on thefuture of 3D printing。
nanoscribe，，，，a specialist Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP) 3D printing technology, has announced the launch of its new量子x对齐3D打印机。
首次亮相Photonics West 2022据报道，在旧金山，高精度微型生产商是第一个能够将自由形式的微光学元件直接打印到光纤和光子芯片上的3D打印机。它借助自动纳米过度对齐功能来完成此操作，该功能是其他微孔传播器的特征。
因此，量子X对齐的设计旨在通过在芯片和光纤之间制造自由空间微型互连（FSMI）来实现可靠的光耦合。
“随着新的Quantum X与我们的行业预先验证的Quantum X平台保持一致，我们正在通过强大的对齐技术来丰富两光子聚合，这些技术推动了数据通信，电信和感应应用的不断增长的需求。”Nanoscribe首席执行官兼联合创始人Hermatschweiler。“我们的目标是应对光子包装中有效耦合的挑战，并使高精度3D打印在集成光子学中首选的技术。”
Down to the nanoscale with Nanoscribe
nanoscribewas founded in 2007 as a spin-off of theKarlsruhe Institute of Technology（套件），专门研究基于2pp的3D打印机。2021年6月，该公司是acquired by bioprinting company BICO Group（以前是Cellink）达成价值5000万欧元的现金，股票和赚钱的交易。
With over 3,000 users at universitiesNanoscribe，Nanoscribe在世界各地的研究机构和工业公司中都在微图领域为自己起了名字。该公司的产品组合是一个稳步增长的产品组合，现在包括Quantum X，，，，量子x形状，，，，Quantum X bio，，，，和Photonic Professional GT2。
To enable applications in microfluidics and micro-optics, Nanoscribe also has its own range of specialist resins on offer. These include theIP Photoresin series for photopolymer parts和GP-Silica materialfor silica glass microstructures.
The Quantum X align
预计光子集成电路（PIC）有助于加速当今微电子的计算能力，同时将功耗削减到新的低点。不幸的是，PIC设备的生产需要乏味的放置和主动对齐各种微型元素才能形成互连。Nanoscribe的最新创新旨在解决此问题。
The Quantum X align automatically detects the optical interfaces and spatial orientations of photonic chips and fiber cores, enabling it to 3D print freeform microoptics directly in place. The system even takes element tilt into account, eliminating the need for manual active alignment, which is often a costly procedure. Nanoscribe claims the machine can achieve alignment accuracies of down to 100nm in all spatial dimensions.
由于相对较大的打印区域的尺寸为50 x 50mm，因此量子X对齐在其应用中具有多功能性。该系统的功能使其非常适合从微流体和传感器系统到微型医疗设备的所有功能，以进行微创内窥镜检查。
The Quantum X align is a finalist for the棱镜奖2022在“制造和测试”类别中。
