Learn how micro 3D printing is helping in the fight against COVID

Micro 3D Printing and COVID-19

Little did we know that shortly after opening our office at the end of 2019 the world was going to turn upside down.

We opened the BMF Boston office with the goal of introducing products to a market that has previously been underserved – the micro 3D printing market. We provide customers with parts that previously could never have been produced using 3D printing.

Fast forward to today and we are excited to not only continue to drive innovation within the growing trend of miniaturization, but to be able to directly help the fight against COVID. As priorities shifted from personal protective equipment to testing supplies and now to vaccine delivery, micro 3D printing is helping to develop scalable and progressive vaccine manufacturing and delivery technologies to the forefront of the fight against COVID.

Scalable manufacturing for novel, painless vaccine delivery

Collaborators led by Carnegie Mellon University are developing a novel approach to COVID-19 inoculation that addresses both immunological effectiveness and manufacturing efficiency with a low-dose, inexpensive, hybrid microneedle array (Hybrid-MNA) technology.

3D Printing Molds for COVID-19 Testing at UC Berkeley

Microfluidic multiplex devices are used in the analysis of protein biomarkers, biological characteristics that let researchers measure and evaluate normal biological, pathogenic, or pharmacological processes. Microfluidics, the manipulation of small volumes of fluid and flow, is used widely in point-of-care (POC) devices for clinical diagnostics and supports multiplexing, the quantitative measurement of multiple protein biomarkers for complex lab procedures involving cancer or COVID-19. In the case study, we will learn how two students at UC Berkeley are 3D printing molds for COVID-19 testing.

Making Miniaturization Manageable

As the rapid response to COVID19-induced needs continues to demonstrate, 3D printing and additive manufacturing possess great potential to fill a growing number of needs. From quickly ramping up to produce PPEs to enabling manufacturers to look for new ways to produce complex parts that pose challenges with other production approaches. This evolution will only intensify as progressive manufacturers work to find new applications suitable for this maturing technology. The ability to accurately produce smaller parts is a prime example.
