At about this time last year, Norfolk, Virginia-basedOld World Labs参加了CES 2014和showing its prototype对于100纳米（.1微米）分辨率SLA 3D打印机。一年后，该公司又回来了，它将推出两种准备市场的车型（或几乎准备就绪），即MC-1和MC-2，这可能是市场上最准确，最负担得起的3D打印机。
纳米级3D打印今天已经可以通过一种称为两个光子聚合（2pp）的技术来实现，该技术已在大学使用，可以通过一家名为nanoscribe的公司。尽管尚未取决于Nanoscribe的少数纳米胶体专业GT系统可以在分辨率方面实现，但OWL却越来越接近并且没有停止。
Both the MC-1 and and MC-2 are available through a subscription service, which gives customers the possibility to upgrade their systems as the technology rapidly advances. The OWL MC-1 is the first 3D printer available as a service plan subscription. Along with its 1 micron resolution, it has the mechanical capability for 100nm precision 3D printing, with +/- 500 nm accuracy and a 6”x6”x6” build volume.
The MC-2 is the first scheduled upgrade and it is due to become available as of mid-2015. It can achieve a 100 nm resolution with +/- 50 nm accuracy in the same build volume as the first version. The machine also feature a control board, improved software, and multiple upgraded lasers, capable of processing multiple materials. Both systems are intended to be used in a plethora of different professional fields, including medical, engineering and even entertainment.
“ 3D印刷对科学，医学研究和学术发现的好处正在发展，并且取得最大进展和最大发现的人们需要最精确，最准确的打印机，”旧世界实验室的首席执行官兼创始人尼克·利弗曼（Nick Liverman）说。。“ MC系列符合此描述。没有其他3D打印机可以匹配它们以获得分辨率，精度和功能。他补充说，我们的打印机不像市场上的其他任何东西。他们更准确，能够处理打印的细节，这使试图改变世界的人们有所不同。”
OWL的客户已经包括NASA，斯坦福大学，弗吉尼亚大学和弗吉尼亚理工大学等顶级研究机构。该公司还与美国国防部和综合光子制造研究所合作。也许还没有CES上显示的大多数产品的消费者准备就绪，但是以3D打印的速度不断发展，它将很快就足够了。
