IMcoMET Fights Skin Cancer With Micro 3D Printing

Rotterdam-based startup IMcoMET works in the medical sector, specializing in the development of solutions to fight cancer, particularly skin cancer. To do this, the company extracts interstitial fluid, filled with biomarkers, from the skin in a localized manner, to study it and improve dermatological diagnosis. The aim is to advance biomedical research and provide personalized solutions. Furthermore, to achieve this goal, the start-up relies on 3D printing, and more specifically on microprinting solutions from American manufacturer Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF). Thanks to BMF’s 3D printers, IMcoMET is able to develop microneedle technology, enabling it to extract this famous liquid in a precise, localized manner.

Precision at the Microscale: UK Researchers Advance Medical Devices with BMF’s 3D Printing Tech

University of Nottingham researchers are using Boston Micro Fabrication‘s (BMF) 3D printing technology to develop medical devices that improve compatibility with human tissue. Funded by a UK grant, this project specifically targets the design of implants that can integrate more effectively into the body, aiming to reduce complications such as infections and adverse immune reactions. The partnership leverages BMF’s capability to print with micro-precision, which is essential for creating the complex and often very small structures these new devices require.

3DPOD Episode 186: Micro DLP 3D Printing with John Kawola, CEO of BMF3D

John Kawola was one of the initial employees at Zcorp, a pioneering 3D printing company known for manufacturing color parts that was eventually acquired by 3D Systems. Subsequently, Kawola rejoined the 3D printing sector to lead Ultimaker’s invasion into the US market. Not stopping there, he later assumed leadership at BMF, a company specializing in the production of micro-sized parts using digital light processing technology. BMF is carving out a niche for itself while also commercializing applications that utilize its innovative technology—a strategy that, in our opinion, should be more widely adopted.

Micro 3D Printing as an Innovation Accelerator for the Electronics Industry

Take a look at the cellphone over the years – camera lenses have gotten smaller, features have exploded, but the size of the devices has stayed relatively the same. This is only possible by making the parts that enable this technology smaller, and this move for miniaturization has become a trend across industries. From the cell phones in our pockets to surgical devices used for minimally invasive procedures, engineers and scientists are designing products that are smaller and smaller. And with the final products shrinking, it means that the inner workings of the device, plus the pieces that hold everything together, must be made in micro dimensions too.

Micro 3D printing: Small stuff, big breakthroughs

The 3D printing industry has recently faced challenges, with companies in the sector experiencing declining stock valuations, fundraising struggles and corporate restructuring. However, it is important to put this turbulence into perspective.

We may not be seeing the same explosion in 3D technologies that we saw 20 years ago, but that doesn’t mean the industry is stagnant. In fact, new collaborations and new applications for these platforms are actually expanding the value of 3D printing in many industries.

Revolutionizing The High-Precision Manufacturing Space

Boston Micro Fabrication’s disruptive micro 3D-printing tech can now create small high-precision parts for key industries more efficiently and at a lower cost.

From electronic components to medical implants, there’s a growing demand for microscale parts worldwide. However, traditional manufacturing methods often struggle to do the job, as molding, machining, and stamping become more difficult and more expensive as the end product gets smaller. Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) provides a unique solution.

“BMF’s 3D-printing technology is able to produce parts down in the micron range—and do it at a throughput that can be both competitive and cost effective,” says BMF global CEO John Kawola. “There are no other companies at our scale that can do both.”
