法国高分辨率3D微型生产商Microlight3dhas acquiredSmart Force Technologies (SFT), a micro-scale 2D printing firm, opening up new possibilities for microfluidic 3D printing.
Microlight3dwas founded in 2016 following 15 years of research and development of its 3D microprinting technology atGrenoble Alpes University（UGA）。从那时起，它就制造了其名称制造系统，可以创建分辨率比使用头发小的100倍的对象two-photon polymerizationtechnology. This method uses ultrashort pulses of light to initiate the polymerization of a liquid medium two photons at a time.
该公司还开发了用于用于微型触发技术，微流体，微生物学，超材料，细胞生物学和微电子的设备，现在可以通过SFT的技术来改进和增强。
Acquiring SFT’s 2D printing technology
Microlight3dnow owns 100% of SFT, which specializes in the manufacture of micro and nanofabrication tools for micro-scale 2D-printing. SFT is notable as a spin-off from theLaboratoire Des Technologies de laMicroélectrique（LTM），一个领先的法国研究中心，重点是微型微型和纳米电子设备。
As a result of this merger Microlight3D has acquired SFT’s flagship product智能印刷，一种无掩模的光刻技术，可以生产量身定制的2D微型结构。
Microlight3d首席执行官Denis Barbier评论说：“ MicroLight3D的智能技术的收购是理想的选择。”“我们获得了专业知识high-resolution 2D-printing, that, combined with our 3D microprinting know-how, will leadus to develop new micro-fabrication systems.”
“These future 2D-3D microprinting systems will respond to customer needs for faster, larger and more complex printing capabilities.”
New Microfluidic 3D printing possibilities
由于这次合并，Microlight3dplans to create a microfluidic 3D printer which combines both company’s technologies. This planned printer will integratethemaskless lithographytechnology of SFT, with theAltraspin 3D nano two-photon-polymerization（TPP）Microlight3D于1月推出的打印机。
微流体3D打印机，例如SFT的智能印刷机，能够用于液体尺寸的3D打印微通道，而Micro 3D打印机（如Altraspin）可以创建足够小的微型特征，以适合这些微通道内。但是，还没有一个打印机可以在其中创建微通道和植入MICO特征。
“ SFT很高兴与Microlight3D合并，其3D微图技术基于技术on two-photon polymerization is opening up new possibilities in science and industry,” saidJulien Cordiero, CEO and co-founder of SFT.
“By adding our 2D microstructuring technology对于MicroLight3D的投资组合而言，这意味着寻求新方法来解决设计的客户challenges can greatly benefit from the quality and efficiency of sourcing from a single supplier.”
在合并之前，Microlight3d和SFT以前合作提供
组合3D和2D微米级打印服务。在共同股东的帮助下SATT Linksiumin Grenoble, France, the two teams decided to merge operations.
