Thinking Small

The electronic connectors inside a smartphone. An optical housing perched on the tip of a surgical endoscope. Microfluidic channels etched into a lab-on-a-chip for biomedical research. All these applications require part features measured not in millimeters, but in microns.

High-Precision 3D Printing Transforms Electronics Prototyping and Production

With electronics becoming smaller, more tightly packaged, and subjected to more demanding conditions, 3D printing technology continues to prove itself as a viable alternative to traditional manufacturing processes. Let’s look at the benefits delivered by high-precision 3D printing for electronics prototyping and production. For those considering it as a technology solution, here’s some wisdom on the best approach.

Boston Micro Fabrication Awarded U.S. Patent for Dual-Resolution Micro-Scale 3D Printing Technology

Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), a global leader in micro-precision 3D printing solutions, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. Patent No. 12,420,486 B2, titled “Multi-Scale System for Projection Micro Stereolithography.” The patent covers BMF’s groundbreaking dual-resolution optical system, a key innovation behind the company’s microArch® D1025 printer.

Test Specialist Manufactures Connectors in Small Series Using 3D Printing

Technical progress requires courage - Bright demonstrated this in a challenging project for a leading automotive manufacturer. The solution was implemented using Boston Micro Fabrication's (BMF) precision micro-stereolithography: Partner AM Pioneers in Esslingen 3D-prints high-precision connector plates for connectors in durable resin using a microArch S240 3D printer with 10 µm resolution.
