The company is revolutionising the surface analysis market with its user-friendly, robust, economical instruments. Scientific and industrial users successfully use our systems for the three-dimensional mapping and inspection of micrometer and nanometre surface structures. As a developer, manufacturer, and distributor, NanoFocus has years of patented know-how in the high-resolution optical 3D measuring technology and analysis. The NanoFocus product range includes outstanding hardware solutions combined with powerful software packages. Innovative NanoFocus systems enable extremely fast, easy and contactless, 3D topography measurements with resolutions in the nanometre range. A large number of well-known companies in the automotive, electronics,- and medical technology industries, as well as renowned research institutes,- and numerous nanotechnology and microtechnology companies trust NanoFocus solutions. Setting standards and growingMicro- and nanotechnology allows radically new products which change our everyday lives to be developed. With the help of this technology, the functions of existing products will be improved considerable. As examples from bionics show (e.g. the lotus effect), the surface as a functional element in particular is of great importance - an aspect which has already been successfully applied to everyday products. In classical branches of industry as well, such as the automotive industry, the use of innovative processing methods in the micro and nanosector for the production of effective function specific surfaces is a key technology in the improvement of performance and in the reduction of abrasion and energy consumption. Quantitative and process-integrated analysis is a basic requirement if these modern process methods are to be managed reliably – both in the initial development phases and in production. At an early stage, NanoFocus AG recognised the importance of optical 3D measurement technology for quantitative and laminar analysis of micro and nanostructures, in particular for function-specific surfaces and translated it into innovative products. NanoFocus will continue to shape these new technologies in future, will set standards and will grow.
