Boston Micro Fabrication Expands Material Portfolio with for microArch 3D Printers

Explore advanced material solutions for high-temperature, biocompatibility, and precision applications in BMF’s latest microArch series

Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), a recognized leader in ultra-high precision 3D printing, has announced four new material additions for its microArch series. Designed to meet the rigorous needs of industries such as aerospace, biotechnology, and electronics, these materials expand micro-scale manufacturing options for engineers and researchers seeking precise, durable, and functional components. The new lineup includes BMF’s proprietary HTF and SR resins, along with Figure 4® HI TEMP 300-AMB and BASF’s Ultracur3D 3280, each offering unique properties that make them ideal for high-performance applications.

New High-Performance Materials Overview

Each of BMF's new materials provides unique capabilities to serve various demanding applications:

• 3D Systems Figure 4® HI TEMP 300-AMB: This ultra-high temperature material, with a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) over 300°C, is ideal for applications requiring extreme heat resistance, such as HVAC components and motor enclosures.

• BASF Ultracur3D 3280: Known for its ceramic-filled composition, this material delivers excellent stiffness and a high HDT (>280°C), making it ideal for tooling and mold inserts.

• HTF Resin: BMF’s high-temp, biocompatible resin, HTF, offers flexibility and can withstand autoclave sterilization, making it well-suited for aerospace and biotech applications.

• SR (Sacrificial Resin): BMF’s SR material enables the creation of single-use molds for complex parts and is easily dissolved for cost-effective prototyping.

BMF’s latest material additions empower industries to push the boundaries of what’s achievable in micro-manufacturing, delivering accuracy, heat resistance, and performance ideal for specialized applications.
