In research, prototyping, and production processes, additive manufacturing has become a tool for unique designs. With the almost unlimited design freedom, intricate geometries and even organic topographies can be created. Nanoscribe's innovative technology of two‐photon grayscale lithography combines an additive approach with maximum precision to rapidly transform digital models into functional parts on the microscale. This maskless lithography technique offers the versatility of additive manufacturing and the precise exposure control of grayscale lithography.
