Boston Micro Fabrication<\/a> is expanding its portfolio of high-resolution micro-3D printers with a new model: the microArch S350. The system fills a gap in the product lineup and makes BMF\u2019s proven P\u00b5SL technology accessible for an even broader range of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the P-150 to the S350: A Consistent Evolution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For several years now, Boston Micro Fabrication has been one of the leading providers of micro 3D printing<\/a>. With resolutions and tolerances that are unmatched in the market, the company serves customers in industries such as electronics, optics and photonics, medical technology, and the life sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 25\u00b5m segment, the P-150 was previously BMF\u2019s entry-level system. It was primarily used in research but, due to its limited build volume, was not suitable for every application. This is exactly where the microArch S350 comes in: It offers the same resolution class but with a significantly larger build platform of 100 \u00d7 100 mm, as well as additional automation features that customers have repeatedly requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why 25 \u00b5m Resolution Can Be More Than Sufficient<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not every application requires the ultra-precision of BMF\u2019s 2 \u00b5m or 10 \u00b5m systems. For many components in fields such as prototyping, small-batch production, or research, a resolution of 25 \u00b5m is entirely sufficient\u2014while also offering a larger build volume and potentially shorter print times. Compared to other DLP-based 3D printers on the market, which typically achieve resolutions between 40 and 100 \u00b5m, the S350 thus remains clearly in the upper precision range of its class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greater Flexibility in Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another advantage of the S350 concerns material selection: For the first time, the system allows the direct use of resins from independent third-party suppliers without requiring any adjustments to the printer. Compatibility with 3D Systems\u2019 MED resin and Henkel\u2019s 3955 flame-retardant resin has already been announced. For users, this means greater freedom in material selection and the ability to more specifically meet requirements in medical technology or electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
