DESKTOP ROLL NANOIMPRINTER 3.0
Validate Nanoimprint Processes Under Production-Grade Conditions
The Desktop Roll NanoImprinter 3.0 is a 3rd-generation compact roll-to-plate nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) system engineered for high-fidelity replication of advanced nano- and micro-structured surfaces.
Built around Stensborg’s patented rolling nanoimprint (RNIL) nip technology, the system introduces new software and monitoring layers that reduce process variability, minimise human error, and improve industrial-grade repeatability.
Designed for photonics, optics, life science, energy, and functional surface applications, it enables teams to move from feasibility testing to manufacturable high-volume nanoimprint workflows faster and with lower scale-up risk.

APPLICATIONS
Compatible features and surface topologies with Stensborg’s rolling NIL
Our Roll-to-Plate compact NIL device uses a patented nip imprint process that reduces the contact area, minimises material error and increases replication efficiency. This ensures our nanoimprint lithography technology can efficiently replicate a wide variety of structure topologies for optics, photonics, automotive, displays, energy and life science applications:
- Diffractive gratings
- Waveguide optics
- Microlens arrays
- Optical diffusers
- Holographic and AR structures
- Light trapping & anti-reflection structures
- OPV diffuser foils
- Solar cell surface texturing
- Microfluidic channels
- Scaffolds
- Microelectrodes
The ideal solution for cost-efficient process validation before upscaling
De-Risk Your Transition to High-Volume Nanoimprint Manufacturing
The Desktop Roll NanoImprinter 3.0 is the entry point into a scalable manufacturing pathway developed by Stensborg. Engineering teams use the platform to validate process feasibility, establish repeatable manufacturing parameters, benchmark replication quality, and reduce industrial scale-up risk.
Once validated, processes can transition into custom high-volume Roll-to-Roll manufacturing systems such as the Holoprint 5000. Together with our engineers, you can discuss material and template compatibility, test technical compatibility and personalise your scale-up roadmap.

THE TECHNOLOGY
How Stensborg’s Roll-to-Plate NIL Technology works
The Desktop Roll NanoImprinter 3.0 uses Stensborg’s patented Rolling Nanoimprint Lithography (RNIL) technology, in which a UV Optical Engine is integrated into a rotating transparent imprint cylinder. During the continuous Contact → Cure → Release process, UV resin is cured precisely at the rolling nip-line, reducing imprint force requirements while improving material conformity, replication stability, and nanoimprint process reproducibility.
Developed from 25+ years of industrial nanoimprint engineering experience, the Desktop Roll NanoImprinter 3.0 combines the same core Roll-to-Plate UV-NIL technology used in Stensborg’s industrial manufacturing systems into a compact, cost-efficient process validation platform. The result is production-relevant nanoimprint lithography with lower development costs, reduced material consumption, faster iteration cycles and more cost-efficient scalability.
