What began as an ambitious idea in Vienna has grown into a global force in high-resolution 3D printing. Founded in 2018 as a spin-off from TU Wien, UpNano combined cutting-edge research with entrepreneurial vision from the minds of CTO Peter Gruber, Aleksander Ovsianikov and COO Denise Hirner. Joined by CEO Bernhard Küenburg with a shared goal: to revolutionize precision manufacturing using two-photon polymerization (2PP) technology. UpNano introduced the NanoOne, the most advanced 2PP 3D printer on the market, enabling nanometer-resolution printing at unprecedented speeds.

Driven by a dedicated team of experts, the company quickly scaled to serve industries from biomedicine to microelectronics, becoming synonymous with innovation. UpNano continues to innovate and keep growth top of mind with the recent launch of NanoPro, a game-changing industrial-scale micropart production service.

This journey reflects the spirit of MD&M West —a commitment to innovation and excellence over decades. UpNano is proud to celebrate MD&M’s 40-year milestone and looks forward to shaping the future of precision manufacturing alongside this thriving community.
