Boston Micro Fabrication is leading the future through its 3D printing technology

The future is tiny. Programmers are focusing on reducing the size of hardware components like computer chips. Smartphone batteries and camera components are also getting smaller.

 

Boston Micro Fabrication(BMF), is a leading producer of micro- precision 3D printers. Micro 3D printing is a newly devised technology that can be used in various industries.

 

3D printing combines ultra resolution and precision for the creation of intricate, exact and replicable parts. Company prints millimeter sized products with perfect accuracy.

 

BMF is currently supplying new kinds of printers with smaller parts to customers from the medical field and electronics. BMF lays emphasis on the usage of special lenses to focus projected light on a smaller scale.Their products include 2 um series printers, 10 um series 3D printers and 25 um series 3D printers.

 

These printers are being extensively used for the production of smaller medical devices. It can also create miniature electronic components with faster data transmission speeds.

BMF uses a specific printing technology known as micro-stereolithography. Micro- stereolithography can match the accuracy and precision of injection molding. As a part of injection molding customers are required to purchase tiny moulds. In some cases moulds are expensive and raise the printing cost by a million dollars.

 

3D printing eradicates the need to purchase moulds. 3D printing is cheaper. BMF is focused on the creation of smaller products. It is supplying microfluidic chips and hearing aids.

 

3D Printing

 

• 3D printing is a type of additive manufacturing.

• To turn a simple image into 3D print users are required to draw the object(that they want to print) on a computer screen.

• The computer converts the drawing into a specific file and shares it with 3D printers.

• The 3D printer reads the file to give layer by layer output.

• Engineers are using 3D printing for creating automobile components, doctors are using 3D printing to make perfect arms and legs that can be fitted in case of fractures. 

• Through 3D printing people can print new and different objects using plastic.

According to MIT News BMF’s CEO John Kowala said,” What’s nice about industries like ours, 3D printing or robotics or others that are hardware-related, is we’re all leveraging processing power getting cheaper and AI and machine vision becoming easier for us.”
