Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) has introduced four new materials for its microArch 3D printers, adding versatile, high-performance options that meet the exacting needs of contract laboratories working with medical, aerospace, and electronic applications. The lineup includes 3D Systems Figure 4 HI TEMP 300-AMB, BASF Ultracur3D 3280, HTF, and SR, each offering unique properties to support contract labs in creating precise and functional parts for various testing and prototyping demands.
Materials Tailored to Contract Laboratory Needs
- Figure 4 HI TEMP 300-AMB: This ultra-high temperature material supports thermal testing, motor enclosures, and HVAC applications with a Heat Deflection Temperature over 300°C.
- BASF Ultracur3D 3280: Offering outstanding stiffness and high-temperature resistance, this ceramic-filled resin meets the rigorous requirements of tooling and mold production, as well as wind tunnel testing.
- HTF Resin: With both high-temperature resistance and biocompatibility, HTF is suitable for laboratories serving the aerospace and biotech industries, enabling reliable, sterilizable parts.
- SR (Sacrificial Resin): This dissolvable resin facilitates cost-effective prototyping and low-volume production by creating sacrificial molds, especially for materials like polypropylene (PP) and polyoxymethylene (POM).
With these material advancements, BMF’s microArch series supports contract labs by simplifying production, expanding testing options, and reducing lead times, ultimately increasing labs’ efficiency and client satisfaction.
