ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION, ACCURACY, AND PRECISION

Advanced Additive Manufacturing Solutions

Boston Micro Fabrication is the world leader in advanced additive manufacturing solutions based on Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) technology. Many leading companies worldwide are adopting PµSL to 3D print true microstructures with ultra-high printing resolution (2µm~50µm) and printing tolerance (+/- 10µm ~ +/- 25µm).

Micro-precision 3D printing is the optimal manufacturing process for various use cases across a wide variety of industries. BMF empowers companies with complete design freedom to enable the creation of geometries that can be manufactured no other way. The combination of ultra-high resolution, accuracy, and precision allows for more intricate, exact, and replicable parts, at scale and tolerances that match those of micro injection molded parts.

3D Printing an Innovative Suturing Device for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery offers patients reduced recovery times, better outcomes, and fewer complications. Suturing is one of the fundamental duties of surgeons, and yet there is not an instrument available that enables their performance on the scale necessary for minimally invasive. Learn how Sutrue used high precision 3D printing to create an innovative new suturing device for minimally invasive surgery.

The 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.

– Sally van der Most, DSS Manager, Sonion NL

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.

– Donna Bibber, VP of Business Development, Isometric Micro Molding, Inc.

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.

– Sam Wilson, STORM Lab UK, Institute of Robotics and Autonomous Sensing, University of Leeds

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.
