A revolutionary technology for surface micro- and nano-patterning

ThunderNIL provides a new technological solution for nanopatterning surfaces with unprecedented throughputs.

The Pulsed-NIL™ technology comes from the upgrade of the existing Nanoimprint Lihography (NIL) technology and it is:
  • Fast: more than 1000 pieces/hour
  • Simple: patterns directly the final product
  • Versatile: works even on thermoplastics with high glass transition temperatures
  • Accurate: does not deform bulk plastic parts, but only affects their surface
The Pulsed-NIL™ approach fits in a large class of fields:
  • Biotech: microfluidics, drug delivery and point-of-care devices
  • Optoelectronics: photovoltaics, lighting devices, displays
  • Telecommunication: integrated optics, refractive or diffractive optical elements
  • Micro/nano-mechanical systems
  • Brand protection and anti-counterfeiting
  • Aesthetics: logos, surface finishing and surface aesthetics
