ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION, ACCURACY, AND PRECISION

Industrial Micro-Precision 3D Printers

Boston Micro Fabrication is the world leader in micro-precision 3D printers utilizing 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. The combination of ultra-high resolution, accuracy, and precision allows for more intricate, exact, and replicable parts.

Prototyping the Impossible to Build the Smallest and Strongest Robots in the World

Matt Bilsky, CEO of FLX Solutions has not been impressed with new 3D printing technology since he purchased his first modern hobbyist printer in 2018, until now. Learn how he leveraged micro-precision 3D printing using PµSL technology to prototype parts to build the smallest and strongest robots in the world.

3D Integrated Microelectronic Subsystems and Additive Manufacturing

New 3D printing technology enables more complex electrical routing for 3D integrated microelectronic subsystems

Using BMF’s microArch S130 model, HRL Laboratories, LLC, has now demonstrated ceramic interposers with previously impossible slanted and curved vias with diameters of less than 10µm. Vias are small openings in insulating layers that allow conductive connections between semiconductor layers in integrated circuits.

When you look at ordering parts, there are three things to consider: quality, cost, and lead time. Other 3D printers can meet cost and lead time, and injection molding can meet quality and cost. With BMF’s micro-precision 3D printers, we get all three.

– Olivia Enneking. Design Engineer, Kaleidoscope Innovation

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 are very excited to own the 1st S130 Micro Stereolithography 3D printer in Europe. The S130 machine from BMF has a good compensation between printing resolution and processing speed, which provides us a fantastic tool in production of customized geometries with a volume of centimetres at a few micron resolution. The arrival of this machine will help boost our current research in 3D printed electronics as well as biomedical directions.

– Dr. Yinfeng, University of Nottingham

The parts say it all. The first time you see a part from a BMF printer you will be amazed. 3D printing, until now, has never been able to produce parts of such precision, and accuracy. Being able to capture thin walls and fine features at this scale and resolution, with unmatched reliability, is unprecedented from any 3D printing technology. This will absolutely usher in new industries, that have previously ignored 3D printing, to the world of rapid design iteration.
