Femtika

What Femtika does

Femtika is a Vilnius, Lithuania-based precision microfabrication company founded in 2013 as a spinoff of Vilnius University's Laser Technology Center. The company develops and sells ultrafast femtosecond laser-based equipment and related services for 3D micro-manufacturing of glass and polymer structures, with claimed submicrometric to micrometric resolution. Its product portfolio is anchored by the Laser Nanofactory workstation, a hybrid fabrication system that supports Multi-Photon Polymerization (MPP) for additive polymeric structuring, Selective Laser Etching (SLE) for subtractive 3D glass part fabrication, and a hybrid fabrication mode combining both processes in a single machine. Complementary contract manufacturing services include Feasibility Studies (method research, prototyping, requirement alignment) and Small Scale Production (process validation and scaled micro-structure output).

The company monetizes through two streams: capital equipment sales of the Laser Nanofactory workstation and adjacent products, and professional services revenue from feasibility studies and small-scale production runs. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers engage via direct "Get in Touch" and "Send Request" forms on the company's website. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by event-driven demand generation at major photonics and high-precision manufacturing exhibitions (SPIE Photonics West, BiOS, LASER World of PHOTONICS, EPHJ) and a referenced Sales Partners distribution network. Femtika serves a mix of academic and government research customers (Vilnius University, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, LAAS-CNRS, BAM, McMaster University, Leibniz-Universität Hannover, Universität Duisburg-Essen, SUPSI, National Taipei University of Technology) and industrial customers across micro-robotics, medical devices, bioscience, photonics, telecommunications, defence and aerospace, watch and jewelry, and semiconductor verticals. The company holds memberships in EPIC Association, the Lithuanian Laser Association, and the Toolas Cluster, and was an EPHJ Grand Prix 2023 finalist.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Laser Nanofactory A hybrid fabrication workstation that supports Multi-Photon Polymerization, Selective Laser Etching, and hybrid additive–subtractive processes, enabling production of arbitrary-shaped polymeric and glass microstructures with submicrometric to micrometer precision. It is sold to enterprise and research customers needing in-house 3D glass and polymer microfabrication.
• Feasibility Studies Contract manufacturing service that researches methods for fabricating micro-structures, fabricates a prototype, and aligns the work with the customer's technical requirements to validate manufacturing feasibility. Targeted at research and industrial customers without in-house advanced microfabrication capabilities.
• Small Scale Production Contract manufacturing service that ensures developed microfabrication processes are effective, efficient, and capable of producing high-quality micro-structures at scale. Targeted at industrial and research customers needing low-volume 3D micro-structure production without investing in their own equipment.

Direct peers

• Nanoscribe (BICO): Nanoscribe is the leading specialist in two-photon polymerization (2PP / multi-photon polymerization) micro-3D printing, directly competing with Femtika's MPP technology for the same research and commercial micro-fabrication customers.
• UpNano: Austrian manufacturer of high-resolution two-photon polymerization 3D printing systems. Operates in the same micro/nano 3D printing category as Femtika's Laser Nanofactory and serves overlapping research and industrial customer segments.
• Heidelberg Instruments: German manufacturer of direct laser writing and lithography systems used for micro- and nano-fabrication. Closely comparable to Femtika in serving photonics, MEMS, and biomedical research customers with precision laser patterning tools.
• Workshop of Photonics: Lithuanian supplier of femtosecond laser micromachining workstations and services. Direct competitor to Femtika in the ultrafast laser micro-fabrication space with a similar product-service hybrid model.
• Kloé: French manufacturer of direct laser writing and UV photolithography systems for micro-fabrication. Competes with Femtika for academic and industrial customers needing submicron patterning and 3D micro-structures.
• Raith: German-based supplier of nanofabrication equipment (electron beam, ion beam, and direct laser writing). Comparable to Femtika in serving micro- and nano-fabrication use cases in photonics, semiconductor, and life science research.

Regional players

• Altechna: Lithuanian photonics and laser optics company offering femtosecond laser micromachining services. Regional peer sharing Femtika's Baltic laser ecosystem and serving overlapping precision micro-fabrication customers.
• Light Conversion: Lithuanian ultrafast laser (femtosecond) source manufacturer and fellow Lithuanian Laser Association member. Compares to Femtika as a regional femtosecond technology specialist, though operating upstream as a laser source supplier.

Broad incumbents

• Trumpf: Global leader in industrial lasers and laser systems. Broader incumbent that could bundle femtosecond micro-fabrication capability into its wider portfolio, representing a large, well-capitalized competitive threat to Femtika's niche.
• IPG Photonics: Dominant fiber laser manufacturer with growing presence in ultrafast and specialty lasers. A broad incumbent whose scale, balance sheet, and industrial customer relationships pose competitive risk to specialty players like Femtika.
