🚀 Unlock New Possibilities with BMF's Sacrificial Resin (SR) Introducing SR: a game-changing soluble, sacrificial material that simplifies prototyping and low-volume production. Perfect for creating single-use molds, SR enables the production of parts using materials like polypropylene (PP) and polyoxymethylene (POM), which are challenging to print directly. Applications: ✅ Single-use molds ✅ Low-volume part production ✅ PDMS applications Key Benefits: 🔹 Dissolves easily in sodium hydroxide for effortless mold removal 🔹 Reduces cost and complexity in micro-injection molding 🔹 Achieves intricate designs with micron-level precision Explore our videos showcasing innovative molding processes—from hand molding to injection molding—and discover how SR transforms prototyping and production. 🎥Watch now: https://lnkd.in/dVai4X_P #3dprinting #Prototyping #AdvancedManufacturing

It’s been busy at BMF! From the launch of our microArch D1025 printer and new high-performance materials to the grand opening of the UltraThineer Lab at our headquarters in Maynard, MA, our team had a lot to share at Formnext - Where ideas take shape.   Our CEO, John Kawola, sat down with Vanesa M. Listek to discuss these exciting milestones and what’s to come in the micro #3Dprinting space as demand for ultra-precise manufacturing grows. Check out the full article in 3DPrint.com

🚀 Pushing the Limits of Precision: 3D Printing thin walls and tight tolerances that could not be achieved using molding   A ureteroscope is a flexible medical device designed to access the kidney and urinary system for diagnosis and treatment. At the heart of this innovation lies a key component: the endcap, where a camera sensor, fiber-optic illumination, and multiple working channels for tools and irrigation need to come together seamlessly.   Why 3D Printing? The device's compact size—just 3mm in diameter—and the intricate endcap design, requiring walls down to 50 – 75µm that run the length of the 5mm part, demand an exceptional level of precision that only BMF’s microArch 3D printers can achieve. Conventional manufacturing approaches are inadequate or cost-ineffective at producing the miniature features required. As such, micro 3D printing was the only viable solution for quickly and cost-effectively generating end-use components with the tolerances and resolution required for the application.   Learn more about medical device applications here: https://lnkd.in/eEip3637   #medicaldevices #ureteroscope #highprecision
