High-resolution 2-photon polymerization (2PP) 3D printing now in China

Collaboration between UpNano and Husun Technologies brings 2PP 3D-printing to one of the world’s largest technology markets

5 Nov 2025

UpNano GmbH, is entering the Chinese market by partnering with Husun Technologies, a well-established distributor based in Beijing. Together, the two companies will make UpNano’s NanoOne series available to both research institutions and selected industries across China.

To this end, a high-tech demo lab operated by Husun staff trained by UpNano and equipped with a NanoOne 1000 printer and a full range of modular accessories will open in Beijing, offering feasibility studies, training, and demonstrations for prospective customers.

The NanoOne series combines a compact desktop format with high printing speed across more than fifteen orders of magnitude, while maintaining resolutions below 100 nm. Patented Adaptive Resolution technology allows the system to switch between rapid printing of larger volumes and precise detailing of delicate features.

In addition, UpNano offers a broad portfolio of proprietary printing materials – from biocompatible resins to heat-resistant and optical grades – developed in-house to match the performance of the printers. This expertise in hardware, software, and materials ensures optimal results for demanding applications.

On site, prospective customers will be able to explore these options directly, run short feasibility projects, and assess the system’s potential for their own applications. Likely areas include microfluidics, optics, biomedical engineering, and electronics – all fields in which China is strongly positioned.

The step into China follows a series of product launches by UpNano. The NanoOne green, introduced in late 2024, added a 515 nm wavelength laser that enables new levels of detail and compatibility with transparent materials. The company also unveiled NanoPro, a service powered by its new NanoPro VT printing system, designed for serial production of microparts at industrial scale.

These developments underline UpNano’s ability to extend 2PP 3D printing from laboratory use to real industrial applications.

“The technology of UpNano is a valuable addition to our portfolio of high-performance 3D printing solutions,” says Husun CEO, Ms Yongfeng Qiao. “Together we will develop a strong customer base in both academia and industry. At a time when precision requirements are rising across sectors, a system capable of tolerances below 100 nm is a perfect fit with excellent prospects.”

“China is an important and challenging market,” says Bernhard Küenburg, CEO of UpNano. “We are very pleased to have found in Husun an experienced and reliable partner to build our presence there. Husun will be part of our extended team, and together we want to establish our 2PP technology in China. For us, this is a major step, and we are confident it will open new opportunities for customers across research and industry.”
