Micro manufacturing methods have evolved over time from subtractive processes such as milling and machining to micro forming and micro injection molding. In the last few years, 3D Printing has become a viable alternative, reinventing micro manufacturing.
A method called Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) is emerging as a new technology to produce parts at a length scale suited to (micro) prototypes, patterns, tools, jigs/fixtures and end-use parts.
During this webinar, John Kawola, CEO of BMF discusses the strides that have been made to bridge the gap between 3DP and manufacturing and reveals how some new developments at BMF are making micro production parts possible using micro-precision 3D printing.
You also hear from BMF partner Isometric Micro Molding, who discusses how they are using BMF’s technology to 3D print parts that are able to meet the demanding micro feature detail and dimensional requirements expected from their customers.
Watch this webinar:
- What applications can micro-scale AM/3DP be used for
- How to pick the right material and resolution for your application
- How micro 3DP materials stack up to micro manufacturing materials
