Modern manufacturing technologies enable the origination of highly accurate tooling of nano- and microstructures. Nanocomp has both experienced personnel and stable processes to utilize these technologies for the benefit of our customers. Especially direct laser lithography is Nanocomp’s key competitive advantage, enabling the creation of very complex and highly functional freeform microstructures. Feedback from our customers and competitors shows our capabilities are in high demand on the global stage. Alternatively, electron beam lithography and diamond turning technologies can also be utilized when required, offering additional flexibility to meet specific needs.
Tooling process continues with nickel electroforming, which enables cost effective copy tools for mass production while preserving nanoscale accuracy. Nanocomp expertise working in lightguide business for 25 years has given high quality standards and performance. Nickel shim defect sizes and quantities are well controlled and on higher level in comparison to competition. Furthermore in-house metal coating capabilities enable fast turn around times and best possible quality.
