MetaOptics to Deploy its Direct Laser Writer at the nano@stanford Facility
The shared facility will support user demonstrations and technical validation as MetaOptics seeks to scale small-volume metalens production in the United States.
- On Thursday, August 13, 2026, MetaOptics Ltd announced an agreement to install its Direct Laser Writer at the nano@stanford facility, supporting the company's strategic expansion into the USA.
- Serving over 1,400 members, the nano@stanford facility provides an open, shared-use environment where MetaOptics plans to develop a "mini foundry" infrastructure for quick turnaround prototyping.
- Utilizing a 4-inch glass wafer, the DLW enables fabrication of metalens samples within weeks, featuring a 100nm ultra high precision laser that allows simultaneous fabrication of over 100 metalens, each as small as 0.1mm in diameter.
- MetaOptics Executive Chairman Thng Chong Kim said the collaboration allows the company to "strengthen technical validation" and gather user feedback, following acceptance into Stanford Engineering's SystemX Alliance Program.
- The company plans to leverage this deployment to showcase technology to other SystemX Alliance Program members, including top USA technology companies, positioning the initiative as a launchpad for scaled commercial production.
