ATLANT 3D NANOFABRICATOR PRO Targets Atomic-Scale Chips and AI Materials

ATLANT 3D has launched the NANOFABRICATOR PRO, an industrial system that deposits material one atomic layer at a time. The machine targets semiconductor research, AI-driven materials discovery, and advanced electronics.

The technology, called Direct Atomic Layer Processing or DALP, differs from conventional 3D printing. It does not extrude plastic filament or sinter metal powder. Instead, it places extremely thin films of material only where needed. That makes it useful for modifying chips, sensors, and photonic devices rather than building whole parts.

ATLANT 3D says the PRO works with more than 450 materials. Researchers can use it to turn AI-predicted materials into physical samples for testing. The company frames this as a faster cycle: AI suggests a candidate, the machine makes it, scientists test it, and the cycle repeats.

An unnamed global AI hyperscaler already ordered a smaller NANOFABRICATOR LITE in July. ATLANT 3D previously sold systems to the University of Vermont and the Slovak Academy of Sciences. NASA bought an earlier model in 2021 to study thin-film deposition in microgravity.

The company partnered with Automated Industrial Robotics to manufacture the PRO in the United States. AIR operates out of Fremont, California, and has decades of experience building equipment for the semiconductor industry.

The NANOFABRICATOR PRO is not meant for mass chip production. It sits at the research and development stage, helping teams validate new materials before they scale. The $15 million Series A+ raised last year is meant to expand that reach.
