Additional Context
Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) is releasing the microArch S150 Series. This series comprises two compact desktop systems. There’s a speedy microArch S150 Ultra and a more lab- or experiment-oriented microArch S150. The company thinks that the PµSL printers will be used for “microfluidics, fiber optics, biomedical devices, electronics, and advanced research.”
The Ultra is nine times faster than the regular S150, and could be used for “rapid prototyping, iterative design, and low-volume production of finely detailed parts such as microneedles, channels, nozzles, and chips.” The systems have 25 µm optical resolution, 10–100 µm layer heights, and a ±3 µm positional accuracy. Each layer takes between 4 and 12 seconds to print. There’s a HEPA13 filter, while a UV-C (253.7nm) sterilization syste
