Bringing industrial-grade micro-precision 3D printing to the desktop
Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), an expert in micro-precision 3D printing, has launched the microArch S150 Series, a next-generation line of compact 3D printers designed to meet the demand for faster build cycles, streamlined workflows, and accessible micro-precision capabilities
The series introduces two advanced systems: the microArch S150 Ultra, a high-throughput system designed for fast production workflows and the microArch S150, suitable for flexible lab development and precision prototyping.
Desktop-friendly, the S150 Series enables reliable, industrial-grade micron-level additive manufacturing for a broader range of users across applications that include microfluidics, fibre optics, biomedical devices, electronics, and advanced research.
The microArch S150 Ultra has set a new benchmark in micro-scale manufacturing, delivering up to 9x faster print speeds than the microArch S150 and enabling rapid prototyping, iterative design, and low-volume production of detailed parts such as microneedles, channels, nozzles, and chips.
Expanding on BMF’s proprietary Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) technology, the microArch S150 Series produces accurate, repeatable micro-scale features suitable for functional testing and validation, enabled by its 25µm optical resolution with ±3µm positional accuracy. With layer thickness ranging from 10-100µm. supporting the fabrication of intricate components with exceptional surface quality and dimensional fidelity.
Designed for deployment across lab, office, and industrial environments, the microArch S150 Series is built to eliminate operational barriers that have hindered the adoption of micro-precision additive manufacturing. By addressing these challenges, such as lengthy print cycles, complex calibration, inconsistent results, and reliance on bulky infrastructure, this series enables a more efficient, reliable workflow that enhances productivity.
Through the microArch S150 Series, BMF brings a suite of advanced features to streamline and stabilise micro-scale production. The Series combines one-touch operation with the process stability synonymous with BMF’s industrial platforms.
A fully automated setup eliminates manual calibration entirely, with printing initiated with a single button press. Preloaded printing parameters and an integrated touchscreen workflow remove the guesswork from everyday operations, while high-viscosity material handling broadens formulation possibilities. A built-in HEPA13 filtration system maintains a clean, safe operational environment, and a UV-C sterilisation system keeps the build chamber sanitised between print runs, supporting use in contamination-sensitive applications.
John Kawola, CEO, BMF, said, “Our mission is to make micro-precision 3D printing a more accessible technology for innovators across multiple industries, and the microArch S150 Series is a true game-changer in enabling us to achieve that. Designed to directly support customers seeking to accelerate their research and development without sacrificing quality, these systems remove long-standing barriers and make true micro-precision 3D printing genuinely accessible. By introducing this series, we are empowering users to easily and successfully create high-resolution parts with the speed and efficiency required for today’s fast-paced development cycles.”
The CE-certified microArch S150 Series will debut in North America at the Rapid + TCT additive manufacturing event, on April 13 to 16, in Boston. Show visitors will be able to see the microArch S150 Series at the BMF stand (1347) and explore how the system hopes to redefine possibilities in micro 3D printing by introducing enterprise-level precision to compact platforms.
