BMF 10µm Resolution Micro 3D Printing Service

UK Micro 3D Printing Service for fine featured, precision components

Ultra‑Precise 10 µm Micro 3D Printing, On‑Demand

Harness our BMF S240 PµSL service to create micro parts with unrivalled 10 µm resolution and ±25 µm accuracy—ideal for microneedles, microfluidics, MEMS and other high‑precision components. At IPFL, we’re excited to offer our clients the cutting-edge capabilities of the BMF microArch® 10μm series 3D printers. This technology represents a significant leap in our micro-manufacturing capabilities, allowing us to deliver ultra-high resolution, accuracy, and precision.

Achieve extreme feature fidelity with 10 µm XY resolution that reproduces crisp edges, sharp corners and true-to-CAD geometries—even for features as small as 25 µm. Closed-loop control, in-situ monitoring and our ISO 9001-certified QMS deliver production-grade repeatability and batch-to-batch consistency. Tool-free printing accelerates development, letting you iterate designs in days rather than weeks, while cost-effective scalability allows you to produce a single prototype or thousands of identical end-use micro components. The system maintains ±25 µm dimensional accuracy across a 100 × 100 × 75 mm build area with layer thicknesses from 5 µm to 40 µm, and it supports certified biocompatible and high-temperature resins to meet demanding application requirements.

What is BMF microArch® 10μm 3D Printing?

The BMF microArch® 10μm series, is Boston Micro Fabrication’s micro-precision additive-manufacturing platform that uses Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) to build polymer or composite parts. It uses a UV-LED light source to cure photosensitive resin with an optical resolution of 10μm in a step-and-repeat process. This method provides exceptional detail and surface finish (0.4-0.8µm Ra on top surfaces and 1.5-2.5µm Ra on sidewalls), making it ideal for industrial prototyping and short-run production. Across a 100 × 100 × 75 mm build area, PµSL lets engineers go from micro-scale prototype to high-volume production for applications like microfluidics, MEMS and medical devices—without any custom tooling.
