<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi Justin,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We have two MLA150s but a couple of our campus facilities have purchased or are in the process of purchasing smaller tools like uMLA. One of the groups is highly considering the Raith tools, in the Picomaster
line. I visited their factory in 2023 and their technology is impressive. They are slower, I believe, than the Heidelberg equivalent but their resolution is 300 or 400 nm. They were originally used for master duplication and for BluRay needed to be 300nm range.
They then made holographic images for anti-counterfitting applications. Then they were purchased by Raith, who is marketing them to our industry.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I suggested to our campus folks that they send relevant samples/patterns to both Heidelberg and Raith for comparison, since each of the labs had different requirements.
