Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) has unveiled the microArch S240 Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) machine, increasing its product portfolio to five systems.
The newly launched machine has been designed to meet the needs of short-run industrial production, with a larger build volume than BMF’s P/S130 and 140 machines, as well as faster printing speeds and compatibility with more advanced materials.
BMF, which first brought its PµSL technology to the Chinese market before launching globally earlier this year, believes the microArch S240 system’s ability to produce intricate and replicable parts makes it suitable for industries such as the microfluidics, biotech, electronics, education, research and development, and medical device markets. In these sectors, where the company suggests it could be utilised for prototyping and end-part production, BMF is confident it is filling a gap.
“Until now, this coveted combination of quality, strength and resolution had been missing from industrial production, particularly for use cases that require high precision and micron level resolution,” commented John Kawola, CEO of BMF. “With the microArch S240, users can finally make end-use micro parts at speeds that are required for production, with resolution, accuracy and precision that is true to CAD. Smaller parts no longer need to mean bigger headaches or bigger price tags for manufacturers and engineers.”
