3D Printing News Unpeeled: BMF Raises $24m, More Shipboard 3D Printing for the Navy

Us based 3D printer OEM BMF (Boston Micro Fabrication) which makes micro 3D printers, raised $24 million in a Series D round led by China’s Guotai Junan Securities. Also participating were Chongqing Chengxing Equity Investment Fund Partnership, Chuanghe Xincai Manufacturing Sector Transformation and Upgrading Fund. The company has $79.3 million so far. The Chinese money is a salient detail since last week the Biden administration stopped US companies from investing semiconductors, microelectronics, some quantum and AI in China. But, what about Chinese money for US startups? And what about companies doing research in China? Must a company such as BMF choose to be funded by the US or China or could it do both?

Assessing Industry Consolidation in 3D Printing and its Impact on the Market

Additive manufacturing as an industry continues to expand, both in terms of investment in equipment and software, the introduction of new materials, and advancement of more complete services. However, the boom we saw a decade ago has likely reached its peak, with availability and options outpacing demand. As a result, the industry will be forced to consolidate, as we recently saw in the merger announcement between Stratasys and Desktop Metal.

How to Build Tiny Products by Using Microfabrication Techniques

Boston Micro Fabrication uses projection micro stereolithography (PµSL) for microfabrication in 3D printing. This digital micro-display technology provides stereolithography masks that work as virtual photomasks. This technique allows for rapid photopolymerization of an entire layer with a flash of UV illumination at micro-scale resolution. The mask can control individual pixel light intensity that allows control of the material properties of the fabricated structure with spatial distribution.
