Fiber Optics

In fiber optic systems, precision isn’t optional — it’s essential. Even the smallest misalignment can cause signal loss, reflection, or failure. As devices become smaller and data demands grow, traditional manufacturing methods are hitting their limits.

Ultra-high-resolution 3D printing for micro-scale parts—fast.

Micro 3D printing unlocks a new era of innovation for fiber optics, enabling micron-level accuracy, complex geometries, and faster development cycles.

Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) enables engineers to prototype and produce parts with unmatched accuracy, supporting complex geometries, tight tolerances, and high-performance materials—without tooling delays.
