User Interview with Julien Dorsaz at EPFL / CMi - Heidelberg Instruments

First launched to the market in 2015, the revolutionary maskless technology of the MLA 150 has become firmly established within the advanced microfabrication community. The beta-version of the MLA 150 was installed in August 2014 at the Center of MicroNanoTechnology (CMi) of the renowned École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) located in Switzerland, being one of Europe’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan science and technology centres. In 2022, the CMi purchased their second MLA 150 Maskless Aligner, which was installed most recently.
