10 Important Developments in Additive Manufacturing Seen at Formnext 2022

Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) is a maker of photopolymer systems for tiny, precise parts — but that means it is inherently a maker of machines for production, because large quantities of the tiny parts can be run in one build. Its new machine seen at the show includes automatic door opening for robot access, again in anticipation of what seems likely to be a coming user need.

Top 3D Printers Launched at Formnext 2022

Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) released its latest resin micro 3D printing machine, the microArch S350, the week before Formnext. The microArch S350 is BMF’s highest throughput printer designed for end-part production, the company says, because it can not only print microscale parts with high-resolution (down to 10 μm) features, but also an array of small parts requiring high accuracy or precision in volume. The machine is aimed at researchers and manufacturers for prototyping and production in the 1,000-30,000 part volume range.
