Additive manufacturing has evolved from a quick way to prototype parts to a reliable alternative to traditional manufacturing methods, like machining and injection molding, offering a more efficient technique for product designers and engineers to take their parts from prototyping to production. The reality facing many product designers today is that miniaturization is creating an urgent need for technology that can quickly and cost effectively produce parts with micron-level precision and repeatability.
The rise of miniaturization has made micro 3D printing even more appealing and, in some cases, the only suitable option to achieve the tight tolerances required of parts and products. Even beyond this miniaturization movement, highly precise and accurate parts are essential for innovative applications across industries from medtech and life sciences to electronics, but not all 3D printing technology has the ability to hold high accuracy and precision. BMF’s Projection Micro Stereolithography (PμSL) technology has a unique ability to hold micro-precision injection molded tolerance by utilizing ultra-high resolution 3D printing technology, software, specialty material and precision motion control to quickly produce parts requiring micron-level precision, achieving the tight tolerances needed every time.
This white paper will discuss the importance of precision and the accuracy of the tolerances in 3D printed parts, which are required to efficiently move industries forward with innovative solutions to the world’s toughest problems, down to the micron-level.
