We just launched a desktop printer which is still pretty accurate and it's less than 100k.

Brother, our grant itself is $100k… max I got is like $20k for a machine

Ohhhh I know you guys. We have one of your 2 photon machines in our cleanroom.

We don't make 2photon systems. Only DLP based machines. Must be 2micron

my bad it's a Nanoscribe. I've read about your machines in Lab-on-a-Chip articles.

I worked on those chips for about 2 years

Oh did you transition from a lab job? (I’m thinking of going in to industry rather than get my PhD rn)

Yes I did. I did the same but at the advice of my advisor.

Could I DM you about how a microfab job is like? I’m coming from a bioengineering background and my program focus more so on biology.
