Enabling Unique Applications with Micro-Precision 3D Printing

The demand for 3D printing continues to grow as trends of miniaturization create opportunities for innovation across industries from electronics to dental to biotechnology. Our CEO, John Kawola, recently sat down with Laura Griffiths from The TCT Group to discuss what he’s learned in his career in the 3D printing industry, plus insights on recent news - from the launch of BMF Biotechnology to the release of the new microArch D1025 printer.

Fast 50 (Fastest-Growing Private Companies in Mass.)

This year's list includes the 50 privately held, Massachusetts-based/co-headquartered businesses that recorded the highest revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To be considered, companies needed a baseline of $1 million in revenue for 2023 and at least $500,000 in revenue for 2020. In some cases, 2023 revenue numbers are projections, as provided to the BBJ at the time of the submission. Companies that did not record revenue growth from 2022 to 2023 were disqualified.

BMF’s Roadmap to Success

As micro 3D printing continues to aid innovation in medtech and lifesciences, researchers are working on ways to standardize the technology for industry-wide use. Our CEO John Kawola recently spoke with Oliver Johnson from Med-Tech Innovation about our work with the Centre for Additive Manufacturing (CfAM) at University of Nottingham. They are using our platform to make samples for next-generation medical devices and simultaneously developing a playbook for the use of additive manufacturing in medtech that can help advance regulatory pathways for these devices.

Boston Micro Fabrication Launches Industry’s First Dual Micro-Precision 3D Printer Series

To offer more flexibility for customers looking for high precision 3D printing solutions, Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) is launching the industry’s first line of dual printing solutions for micro-scale and ultra high-resolution applications. The dual resolution microArch D1025 is the first printer in the series, printing in either 10µm or 25µm resolution, or in hybrid mode with both resolutions in different layers.

Industry Voices: Is Micro-3D Printing the Future for Tiny Parts?

Across industries from life sciences to electronics, ultra-high resolution and precision parts are often required for innovation – especially when that innovation is driven by miniaturization. As products and technology get smaller, so do the intricacies of the parts that are the sum of the whole. Many engineers and product designers are turning to 3D printing to manufacture these highly precise, small-scale parts. Additive manufacturing is lately proving to be an efficient option when compared to traditional molding.

Boston Micro Fabrication Launches BMF Biotechnology Inc. to Advance Use of 3D BioChips in Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Research

To better support the use of highly precise, microfluidic solutions in advanced drug development, pharmaceutical and cosmetic research, Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) proudly introduces BMF Biotechnology Inc. Headquartered in San Diego, California, BMF Biotechnology Inc. is dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative BioChips (organ-on-a-chip platforms) through cultivating large-scale tissues in vitro, helping accelerate new drug and cosmetic development.

IMcoMET Fights Skin Cancer With Micro 3D Printing

Rotterdam-based startup IMcoMET works in the medical sector, specializing in the development of solutions to fight cancer, particularly skin cancer. To do this, the company extracts interstitial fluid, filled with biomarkers, from the skin in a localized manner, to study it and improve dermatological diagnosis. The aim is to advance biomedical research and provide personalized solutions. Furthermore, to achieve this goal, the start-up relies on 3D printing, and more specifically on microprinting solutions from American manufacturer Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF). Thanks to BMF’s 3D printers, IMcoMET is able to develop microneedle technology, enabling it to extract this famous liquid in a precise, localized manner.

Precision at the Microscale: UK Researchers Advance Medical Devices with BMF’s 3D Printing Tech

University of Nottingham researchers are using Boston Micro Fabrication‘s (BMF) 3D printing technology to develop medical devices that improve compatibility with human tissue. Funded by a UK grant, this project specifically targets the design of implants that can integrate more effectively into the body, aiming to reduce complications such as infections and adverse immune reactions. The partnership leverages BMF’s capability to print with micro-precision, which is essential for creating the complex and often very small structures these new devices require.

BMF receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for UltraThineer Cosmetic Veneer Material

Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), a leader in advanced manufacturing solutions for ultra-high precision applications, announced it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its innovative UltraThineer™ material used to create the world’s thinnest cosmetic dental veneer.
