Engineering the parts others can’t make.
BMF empowers engineers and manufacturers with complete design freedom at the microscale — delivering resolutions down to 2µm and tolerances of ±10µm across medical, optical, electronics, microfluidics, and beyond. Our micro-precision manufacturing platforms produce parts with the complexity and repeatability that conventional processes simply can’t achieve.
Powered by Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL), the microArch S150 Series delivers true 25µm optical resolution and layer thicknesses from 10–100µm in compact desktop and benchtop platforms. Designed for accessibility and ease of use, the system features streamlined one-touch operation—bringing industrial-grade micro-precision manufacturing within reach of labs, development teams, and production environments.
Learn More3D printing has moved well past prototyping and into serious production territory — especially for complex, high-precision components like connectors. That shift is the focus of a recent episode of Electronic Design’s Inside Electronics podcast, featuring Benjamin Dopp, Senior Manufacturing & Process Developmental Engineer at TE Connectivity, in conversation with Editor-at-Large Alix Paultre.
Listen nowFiber optics sit at the core of modern photonics, enabling high-speed communications, data centers, and advanced sensing systems. As fiber optic components become smaller and more complex, traditional manufacturing methods often struggle to deliver the precision required for reliable alignment, connectivity, and performance.
Watch the webinarThe quality and accuracy of BMF PµSL parts is very unique, and truly mimic expensive micro molded parts, and now we can have parts ready for test within 1-2 days rather than 1-2 months, as well as reducing the huge costs associated with tooling manufacture and reworking as the new products evolve. We can also explore designs previously out of reach due to manufacturing limitations. Our main focus is to lift our prototyping capabilities to the highest possible level, both in quality and speed. BMF will help us accomplish that.

We chose BMF’s microArch 3D Printer due to its ability to replicate critical micro features. Their unique Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) technology prints 3D parts with ultra-high resolution and accuracy, which is key to our business. This is the first 3D printer we’ve encountered that can print micro-precision parts, with the dimensional accuracy and precision that our customers require at this stage of product development. We have put the BMF parts through the same rigorous CT scanning inspection process of our micro molded components and were amazed that dimensionally the parts fell within the tolerances required. Our customers have been equally amazed.

We have been looking for some time for a machine that can reliably produce parts in this size range as we were at the limits of other machines or would have to sink cost into other manufacturing methods- typical micro injection molding or other micro machining activity that can be expensive and prohibitive to R&D iterations. The ability to rapidly produce these types of parts combined with an open ecosystem is unmatched.

As one of BMF’s first customers, we’ve been excited by the performance of their high-resolution 3D printing solution. Most recently we have been evaluating BMF’s first-generation microArch P150, and it has delivered accuracy that is not attainable by any other system we have used within our additive lab. With its high part quality and throughput suitable for production, as well as the ability to print a wider variety of materials, the microArch S350 has become a critical tool in printing high-resolution connectors,” said Xiaoming Luo, Principal 3D Printing Engineer, Aerospace, Defense, and Marine (AD&M) at TE Connectivity. “We feel the microArch S350 gives TE the ability to produce very high resolution connectors for our customers.
