microArch S230

The microArch S230 is engineered to deliver dimensional performance at the limits of additive manufacturing. True 2µm optical resolution, ±0.2µm positional accuracy, and exceptional light source stability enable consistent fabrication of the finest micro-scale geometries across demanding applications and materials.

• Advanced roller system: Spreads resin layers in seconds, enabling build speeds up to 5× faster than conventional recoating approaches — without compromising the resolution or surface quality that 2µm printing demands.
• High-viscosity material support: Ability to process higher-viscosity materials opens the door to stronger, more functional parts — including ceramic formulations for applications that require thermal or chemical resistance.
• Air-floated platform: Process from mechanical vibration, ensuring the sub-micron positional accuracy the S230’s optical resolution demands is maintained across the full build.
• Excellent light source stability: Consistent UV exposure performance across every layer and every build ensures repeatable results — critical for applications where dimensional variation between print runs is not acceptable.
• Step-and-repeat process: Proprietary step-and-repeat optical process achieves both ultra-high resolution and effective build area — overcoming the traditional tradeoff between feature size and part scale.
• Real time image monitoring: Integrated auto-focus and exposure compensation with real-time monitoring gives operators full visibility into the print process, enabling intervention before defects propagate through a build.
  

The microArch S230 is powered by BMF’s proprietary PµSL technology — an advanced additive manufacturing process that projects patterned UV light through a precision optical system to photopolymerize entire resin layers simultaneously.

By combining ultra-high-precision optics, real-time exposure control, and the air-floated platform, the S230 achieves feature resolution and positional accuracy that conventional 3D printing and even micro injection molding cannot match at equivalent lead times.

The result: complex micro-scale geometries, fine channels, and intricate three-dimensional structures — printed directly from STL with no tooling, no minimum order, and no lead time for mold fabrication.
