ATLANT 3D has officially launched NANOFABRICATOR® PRO, billed as the world’s first physical platform built specifically for AI-driven materials discovery. Announced from Copenhagen on August 17, 2026, the system is designed to close the gap between digital material design and real-world fabrication by tying together programmable atomic-scale manufacturing, experimental validation, and device prototyping.
Solving the Validation Bottleneck
As AI transforms how new materials are discovered, a stubborn bottleneck remains validating AI-generated predictions in the lab.
Traditional workflows often keep materials design, fabrication, characterization, and manufacturing in separate silos, slowing the journey from simulation to scalable technology.
NANOFABRICATOR PRO is built to unify these stages, accelerating the transition from computational designs to manufacturable materials and devices.
Inside the Platform: DALP® and Physical AI Infrastructure
At the core of the platform is ATLANT 3D’s proprietary Direct Atomic Layer Processing (DALP®) technology, which enables software-defined, layer-by-layer deposition of electronic materials without the masks used in conventional chipmaking.
The company says DALP® can handle more than 450 materials including metals, semiconductors, and oxides and deposit them on flat, uneven, or complex surfaces. This capability underpins what ATLANT 3D calls the “Physical AI Infrastructure for Matter,” linking AI-driven discovery to atomic-scale manufacturing and rapid validation.
NANOFABRICATOR PRO also serves as the foundation for ATLANT 3D’s A-HUB Autonomous Materials Foundry, an integrated environment for AI-orchestrated materials innovation across semiconductors, advanced packaging, quantum technologies, and other emerging applications.
Industrialized for Semiconductor Manufacturing
To move from lab prototype to production-ready system, ATLANT 3D has industrialized NANOFABRICATOR® PRO with Automated Industrial Robotics (AIR).
The resulting platform is SEMI-compliant for advanced semiconductor manufacturing and is being produced in the United States, supporting ATLANT 3D’s U.S. expansion and scalable deployment.
Next Up: Self-Driving Platform Capabilities
Looking ahead, ATLANT 3D plans to add self-driving platform capabilities to NANOFABRICATOR® PRO, integrating metrology and additional processing solutions to further automate the materials innovation loop.
The company is actively seeking strategic partners across advanced technology sectors to co-develop the next generation of Physical AI and scale the ecosystem around AI-driven materials discovery and atomic-scale fabrication.
Leadership Comments
“AI is fundamentally changing how new materials are discovered. The next frontier is turning those discoveries into real-world innovations. Together with AIR, we introduce NANOFABRICATOR® PRO, which enables creation of next-gen self-driven platforms with integrated metrology,” said Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, CEO and Founder of ATLANT 3D. “By connecting AI-driven materials discovery, advanced manufacturing, and experimental validation, we enable rapid translation of computational predictions into functional materials while laying the foundation for the Physical AI Infrastructure for Matter.”
“Industrializing breakthrough technologies requires advanced expertise in reliable and scalable platforms,” said Bob Fung, President of Automated Industrial Robotics Silicon Valley. “Our partnership combines advanced engineering with U.S. manufacturing capabilities to deliver NANOFABRICATOR® PRO platform to enable next frontiers for future industries.”
