You are definitely right if you define resolution as the minimal distance between two free-standing beams/rods, say for the traditional woodpile photonic crystal structure. Nanofrazer may very well be the correct tool for such tasks.</div>

However, Adam mentioned "100 nm in hight precision", which can be possible, depending on what exactly is meant:</div>

For example, if you print a lens with our two-photon grayscale lithography process, we typically see less than 10 nm surface roughness (R_a) and better than 300nm absolute surface deviation (S_z) on a printed design. The latter can be further improved with
an iteration, since deviations are typically very reproducible. </div>

Traditionally, people have used ever smaller slicing distances (say 100nm slicing distance) to reduce staircasing and achieve smooth and precise surfaces, which drastically slows down the print speed and often results in dose accumulation. However, the values
I previously mentioned are typically achieved with 1.0 to 1.5µm slicing distance. So, if you were to design a 100nm height variation pattern into your CAD design, you would see it show up as 100 nm z-variation on the surfaces, despite the >1 µm slicing distance.</div>

I am sorry that I can only show a marketing image [1] for visual proof, but the attached image nicely shows what I mean. Note how the boat's surfaces have textures attached, which come out well and slicing step free, despite the ~1µm slicing distance. (The
SEM image was not modified in any way.)</div>

<p style="margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We are interested in obtaining 3D microfabricated structures (lenses and pillars) with a height of 15-20 microns (z-axis) and a width of 40-50 microns (x and y-axis). Ideally, we require
a resolution of less than 100 nm for high precision.<br>
<br>
We are <b><u>not </u></b>interested in using the 3D printing tool ourselves and would prefer a service that can print our designs and offer a complete printing service.<br>
<br>
We would like to learn more about your capabilities and pricing if your company provides such services using Nanoscribe or similar high-precision 3D microfabrication tools.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your time and consideration.<br>

Sincerely,</p>
