Nano3D: Imaging & Flexures
Sub-micron 3D printing for optical components — open-source hardware for frugal labs.
The Problem
Precision optical components and imaging systems are expensive and typically inaccessible in resource-limited research settings.
Our Solution
Nano3D explores sub-micron 3D printing approaches to build optical components and compliant flexure mechanisms at a fraction of conventional cost, keeping the designs open and reproducible.
