It’s a beautiful sight.📦📦Australia’s CSIRO reported arrival if its planarGROW system today after a long journey from Korea by sea freight.🚢🇰🇷➡️🇦🇺We’re looking forward to getting this system up and running soon.

Another planarGROW system crated up and leaving the factory.🚚🚚This custom dial-tube system designed for h-BN and is bound for Australia’s CSIRO.🇦🇺🇦🇺

Final stages of assembly and testing of this planarGROW-2S/2S dual-tube system for , h-BN, and that will soon be bound for CSIRO in Australia.🇦🇺🇦🇺It’s always nice to see a system come together.🔬🔬

Today planarTECH reached a milestone with the crating & shipping of our 80th system from our factory in .🚚🚚This custom planarGROW system is bound for a blue-chip industrial customer in the USA.🇺🇸🇺🇸

Service visit today at IMRE in Singapore.🇸🇬🇸🇬This cluster planarGROW system for has seen heavy use for the past 6 years, with quite a lot of internal sulphur buildup from growth of .🔬🔬

Another system for being prepped for shipping.🚚🚚This planarGROW-4S system will soon be headed to a customer in Brazil.🇧🇷🇧🇷 With this one departing, that leaves 3 systems currently in production.🏭🏭

10 years ago this month, planarTECH delivered it's first system for to 2-DTech in Manchester, UK.🇬🇧🇬🇧Since then, we have delivered 79 systems to customers with an additional 4 systems currently in production (83 total).

Thanks to all of our customers for their support in the past 10 years.🙏🙏We're looking forward to further growth over the next 10! Happy New Year from all of us at planarTECH!!!🎉🎉

Exciting to do something new!🤩🤩This custom planarGROW-3S/3S at IMRE🇸🇬🇸🇬features RF inductive heating, a 1st for us. The graphite susceptor reaches 1,000C in minutes!⏱️⏱️Looking forward to see what interesting research will result.

Always nice to get a shoutout from our friends at Graphene-Info.🙏🙏

In Singapore for an installation at IMRE.🇸🇬🇸🇬This planarGROW-3S/3S features dual tubes and RF inductive heating for . Especially nice to see this one next to another planarGROW-3S installed in 2018.🔬🔬

Very happy to be in Taiwan🇹🇼🇹🇼 visiting our partner for MOCVD systems for .💎💎The rough output is 5x5x5mm and will yield 1 carat. The cut stone is 2 carat and is “as grown” (no HPHT). Though very pretty, the future of this tech is .

Our partner in Japan🇯🇵closed their lab & were very kind to donate equip to us: 3 sys for & ; a sys for epitaxial growth on ; and a spectroscope.🔬We’ll setup all this soon at our lab in Thailand🇹🇭for R&D use.

Final testing and prep for another CVD system shipment from our factory in Korea.🇰🇷🇰🇷This dual-tube planarGROW-3S/3S system features RF inductive heating for growth and will ship to IMRE in Singapore this weekend.🇸🇬🇸🇬

It’s always exciting to see our systems getting prepped for shipping.🚚🚚These two systems are some of the largest we’ve ever made at 3.25m in length! They’re bound for an industrial customer in the USA.🇺🇸🇺🇸
