2µm Resolution BMF PµSL

Revolutionizing Micro-Manufacturing: IPFL’s 2μm Resolution 3D Printing.IPFL proudly introduces the BMF microArch® S230 2μm PµSL, a system that sets new standards in micro-precision 3D printing. As the first and only service provider of this technology in Europe, we’re bringing unprecedented capabilities to our clients.Attain ultra-high feature fidelity with a 2 µm XY resolution that preserves razor-sharp edges, crisp corners and true-to-CAD geometries—even on details as small as 10 µm. Closed-loop optics, real-time process monitoring and our ISO 9001-certified quality-management system ensure production-grade repeatability and consistent batch-to-batch results. Because the process is tool-free, you can iterate multiple design revisions in days instead of weeks, then scale seamlessly from a single prototype to thousands of identical end-use micro-components. Within its 100 × 100 × 75 mm build envelope, the system holds tolerances to ±10 µm and offers layer heights from 2 µm to 25 µm. A growing portfolio of certified biocompatible and high-temperature resins supports demanding medical, electronics and industrial applications while meeting rigorous regulatory requirements.

What is BMF microArch® S230 2μm 3D Printing?

Boston Micro Fabrication’s microArch® 2 μm series is a micro-precision additive-manufacturing platform built on Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL). Using a high-intensity UV-LED array, it cures photosensitive polymers or composites at an optical resolution of just 2 μm via a step-and-repeat exposure. The process yields sub-micron surface finishes—typically 0.2–0.5 µm Ra on horizontal faces and 0.8–1.2 µm Ra on vertical walls—making it a strong fit for both functional prototypes and low-volume production. Engineers can move seamlessly from single micro-scale parts to scaled batches across the 100 × 100 × 75 mm build envelope, eliminating the need for custom tooling in applications such as microfluidics, MEMS and next-generation medical devices.
