Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), a world leader in PμSL (Projection Micro Stereolithography) technology, is introducing the industry’s first line of hybrid micro-precision 3D printer series for micro-scale and ultra-high-resolution applications to provide customers with greater choice when it comes to high precision 3D printing. The first printer in the series, the dual resolution microArch D1025, can print in either 10µm or 25µm resolution, or in hybrid mode with both resolutions in the same or distinct layers.
Since launching their first printer in 2016, BMF has helped over 2,000 customers around the world iterate and produce more precise parts. The microArch D1025, based on BMF’s unique Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) technology, improves 3D printing efficiency. It allows customers in healthcare, electronics, life sciences, and photonics applications to print two resolutions in a single layer.
First Hybrid Micro-Precision 3D Printer Series
Using a technique that allows for rapid photopolymerization of layers of liquid polymer using a flash of UV light at micro-scale resolution, the 25µm resolution mode can be used for parts in which the features do not require ultra-high resolution, while the 10µm mode supports small, complex features to optimise the 3D printing process.
Users can print a single build in 25µm or 10µm, depending on part geometry, for better flexibility and efficiency across all applications and sectors.
“Our driving motivation for innovation has been to offer new platforms that can help realize high value applications for 3D printing. Increasingly, we have been pushed by our customers to bring our technology to applications where higher precision and tighter tolerances would result in an overall increase in quality and performance, regardless of part size.”
– John Kawola, CEO-Global, BMF
Kawola added, “The launch of the microArch D1025 continues our commitment to answer this call, combining the advances of the microArch S350 25µm platform with the high-resolution capability of our 10-micron printer into one powerful, flexible solution for our customers.”
In addition to dual platform capabilities, the microArch D1025 provides increased, built-in automation and simple switching between resolution modes to improve the user experience while saving time, resources, and money.
The microArch D1025 will be showcased at the following upcoming events:
- TCT Asia, Shanghai, May 7-9, Booth #8F30
- TCT 3Sixty, Birmingham, UK, June 5-6, Booth #H31
- Rapid + TCT, Los Angeles, June 25-27, Booth #1139
