BMF launches new microArch S150 Series 3D printers
Published:

Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) has unveiled its new microArch S150 Series 3D printing systems.

The company's latest compact 3D printer series has been designed to meet the 'growing demand for faster build cycles, streamlined workflows, and accessible micro-precision capabilities.' It is comprised of the microArch S150, ideal for flexible lab development and precision prototyping, and microArch S150 Ultra, a high-throughput system designed for fast production workflows.

Designed as a desktop-friendly solution, BMF says the printers provide access to industrial-grade micron-level additive manufacturing for a broader range of users. Microfluidics, fibre optics, biomedical devices, electronics, and advanced research are all noted as potential application areas for the new machines.

Per BMF, the microArch S150 Ultra delivers up to 9x faster print speeds than the microArch® S150, enabling rapid prototyping, iterative design, and low-volume production of finely detailed parts such as microneedles, channels, nozzles, and chips. It can print with 25 µm optical resolution and ±3 µm positional accuracy, and like all BMF products, the S150 Ultra leverages the proprietary Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) technology. The system can also achieve layer thicknesses ranging from 10–100 µm.

Other features of the microArch S150 Series include an automated functionality that 'eliminates manual calibration entirely,' pre-loaded printing parameters, and a built-in HEPA13 filtration system. A UV-C (253.7nm) sterilisation system, meanwhile, helps to keep the build chamber sanitised between print runs.

“Our mission is to make micro-precision 3D printing a more accessible technology for innovators across multiple industries, and the microArch® S150 Series is a true game-changer in enabling us to achieve that,” said John Kawola, CEO, BMF. “Designed to directly support customers seeking to accelerate their research and development without sacrificing quality, these systems remove long-standing barriers and make true micro-precision 3D printing genuinely accessible. By introducing this series, we are empowering users to easily and successfully create high-resolution parts with the speed and efficiency required for today’s fast-paced development cycles.”

BMF will demonstrate the microArch S150 Series live at RAPID + TCT from Stand #1347. The new machines will be available for order beginning Q2 2026.

The company is also likely to announce a 2-10µm dual-resolution 3D printer in 2026, with the company already installing the system with several customers in Asia.
