Nanoscribe, 3D printer and grayscale lithography systems manufacturer, has reached the sale of its 400th system and anticipates solid financial results for 2025.
Industrial demand for its Quantum X systems is growing, particularly in optics and photonics packaging, while its turnkey process-line solutions and integration within Lab14 Group—a specialist in nano- and microfabrication and surface analysis—support both research and industrial-scale production.
Industrial Uptake on the Rise
Founded in 2007, Nanoscribe has specialized in high-precision 3D microfabrication through Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP). The company has developed innovations such as 2GL grayscale printing and Aligned 2-Photon Lithography (A2PL), with an emphasis on automation, throughput, and usability.
In 2025, roughly one-third of system sales went to industrial clients. Adoption is driven largely by photonics packaging applications, including optical couplers on chips, fiber arrays, and wafers. Quantum X systems deliver optical-quality surfaces with alignment accuracies down to 100 nm, supporting low-loss optical interconnects and beam-shaping components. Turnkey process-line solutions now allow standardized and scalable production.
Nanoscribe stressed that its position within the Lab14 Group further reinforces its role as a supplier of industrial nano- and microfabrication systems. Following growth in 2025, the company expects industrial applications, especially in photonics packaging, to remain a primary driver of demand.
3D Printing Sees Global Expansion
Beyond Nanoscribe, other key players in the AM sector are also reaching sales milestones.
AMCM, a specialized metal 3D printer manufacturer within the EOS group, announced it has reached a major milestone with the delivery of its 150th machine. The system—an AMCM M 4K equipped with four 1 kW lasers—is set to be deployed in California’s aerospace industry, where it will be used to produce CuCr1Zr combustion chambers, critical components in rocket propulsion systems.
Chinese 3D printer manufacturer Farsoon Technologies announced it has surpassed 150 global sales of its meter-scale metal 3D printing systems. These high-capacity machines—designed to produce components over one meter in size—are now operational across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. Industrial users from a range of sectors have adopted the systems, reporting gains in productivity, performance, and cost-efficiency.
Similarly, Eplus3D recently announced it has delivered over 100 “super-meter” metal LPBF 3D printers globally. Nearly 40 of these systems—including the EP-M2050, EP-M1550, and EP-M1250—feature build volumes exceeding one meter in all three axes (X, Y, and Z). Eplus3D states that these figures affirm its leadership in the large-format, multi-laser metal 3D printing segment and highlight a broader industry shift toward multi-laser configurations in metal additive manufacturing.
