Spark ablation tool
VSPARTICLE
VSPARTICLE (VSP) has developed a unique spark ablation tool which generates nanoparticles in a highly controlled manner. Spark ablation is an exciting technology for material scientists who are looking to create new combinations of materials (alloys) or to improve the behaviour of bulk materials like gold and Iridium (Ir) by bringing them on nanoscale. In 2023 VSP will introduce its flagship product, the VSPARTICLE Nanoprinter (VSP-P1). This new product unlocks a new material paradigm by enabling customers to print nanoparticles at the push of a button. The tool can potentially be used for many applications in lots of markets. VSP is eying to become a provider of industrial production tools.
