Next-Generation 3D Microfabrication in Glass for Advanced Biophotonic Applications
At FEMTOPRINT, we specialize in the design, prototyping, and manufacturing of high-precision glass microdevices for next-generation applications in biophotonics, optofluidics, diagnostics, and life sciences. Our proprietary femtosecond laser technology enables direct 3D structuring of complex microarchitectures within optical-grade glass substrates, opening new possibilities in integrated photonics, biosensing, and lab-on-a-chip systems.
By removing traditional microfabrication constraints, FEMTOPRINT helps CTOs, R&D teams, and innovation leaders accelerate development timelines, reduce prototyping costs, and achieve industrial-grade integration in photonics-driven healthcare and research platforms.
Monolithic 3D Structuring in Fused Silica
Our ultrafast laser microfabrication platform enables true 3D geometries inside fused silica and technical glasses—without bonding, masking, or lithography. This ensures unmatched mechanical stability, precision, and integration density.
Biocompatibility & Optical Transparency
Glass provides excellent biocompatibility, broad optical transmission (UV–VIS–NIR), and resistance to chemicals and sterilization—ideal for biosensors, implants, and in-vitro platforms.
Sub-Micron Precision & Imaging-Grade Quality
Create lossless optical waveguides, microlenses, gratings, and channels with surface roughness suitable for confocal microscopy, fluorescence detection, and laser coupling.
Integrated Photonic-Microfluidic Design
Combine microfluidic and optical functions in a single monolithic glass substrate—precisely aligned by design, not assembly.
Cleanroom-Free & Scalable Manufacturing
From prototyping to pilot runs, FEMTOPRINT supports scalable, ISO 13485-certified production with no cleanroom requirement—reducing infrastructure costs and production complexity.
Optofluidic Platforms
Develop compact systems for real-time particle tracking, flow cytometry, and on-chip spectroscopy, with integrated optics for Raman and fluorescence excitation.
Lab-on-a-Chip Devices
Fabricate glass-based LOCs with reaction chambers, microchannels, and optical access points—ideal for PCR, nucleic acid detection, and immunoassays.
Embedded Micro-Optics
Integrate microlenses, mirrors, and beam-guiding structures in the same substrate for optical tweezing, signal routing, or biosensing in tight geometries.
Waveguide-Based Photonics
Write ultra-low-loss waveguides for on-chip light delivery, photonic circuits, and implantable bio-optoelectronics.
