BMF Has Released its Highest-Resolution Micro-Scale 3D Printer, microArch S230

As summer winds down and school gets back into session, so are companies kicking it back into gear. After a restful break, 3D printing companies have signalled the start of September with a flurry of news. Among these, Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), a leading American micro-scale 3D printer manufacturer has announced the launch of its latest micro-precision solution: the microArch S230 3D printer.

It is clear that miniaturization seems to be the next frontier for 3D printing, as a variety of companies hope to move into the market to make parts for sectors as vast as electronics, medical and more. There are clear benefits to using AM for nano parts, notably the high level of customization will ensure that parts are made that uniquely fit, however up until recently it was still a relatively small market. But with the release of this latest machine from BMF, as well as moves from other major microscale printing manufacturers like Nano Dimension, it seems clear that is changing.

With the microArch S230 3D printer in particular, BMF hopes to bring micro-scale 3D printing to a wider audience, making it more accessible while keeping the accuracy, precision and speed for which the brand is known. John Kawola, CEO of BMF noted, “The miniaturization trend continues to dominate nearly every industry, but as parts get smaller, they become harder to design, more expensive to manufacture, and generally more complicated to put into production. Not to mention, technological barriers had previously made additive manufacturing out-of-reach for most use cases requiring small parts. We changed that notion and brought 3D printing to industries that once deemed it impossible, and this new addition to our portfolio – the most advanced of our highest-resolution printers yet – will open even more doors for new applications on the smallest scale.”
