Introducing our newest industrial 3D printer

The microArch S230

The microArch® S230 is the latest addition to our roster of micro-precision industrial 3D printers. This next-generation version of BMF’s highest resolution system is designed for applications that require ultra-high resolution prints (down to 2μm) with accuracy, precision, and speed. Another key feature of the microArch S230 is that it supports ceramic 3d printing at the micro-level and can handle material viscosities up to 20,000 cP.

The microArch S230 brings unprecedented design freedom and part resolution to researchers and manufacturers needing micro parts with tight tolerances from prototyping through production. This industrial 3D printer is built upon BMF’s patented Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) technology, a technique that allows for rapid photopolymerization of an entire layer of liquid polymer using a flash of UV light at micro-scale resolution, but with a larger built volume (50x50x50mm) and up to 5 times faster prints than previous models in the 2μm series.

As a current BMF customer, we’ve been thrilled with the performance of our microArch S130 to support our work in micro-printing ceramics - providing the resolution, accuracy and precision necessary for our parts. As the first customer of the new microArch S230, the next generation 2µm system, we are excited to utilize the enhancements of the platform to increase our part capacity with the larger build volume and speed up our printing times. We are looking forward to continuing to work with the BMF team and their line of micro-precision 3D printers to support our micro part needs.
