Discover Micron-Level Precision with the BMF microArch S240
A microfabrication printer is available at the Holman Biotech Commons.
The microArch S240 is our most precise 3D printer yet - capable of producing parts with a 10-micron layer height and 2-micron resolution. Using Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL), a form of digital light projection (DLP) technology, the S240 cures resin layers with ultraviolet light rather than a laser, allowing for exceptional accuracy and surface smoothness.
Although its build volume is smaller - 100 × 100 × 75 mm - the S240’s micro-scale detail and virtually invisible layer lines make it ideal for applications that demand extreme precision. This includes biomedical research, microfluidic device development, and custom fabrication of micro-needles, micro-channels, and other high-resolution prototypes.
The S240 uses a high-temperature (HTL) resin that is autoclavable and heat resistant up to 114 °C (237.2 °F) - making it suitable for sterile lab environments and research-grade components.
As the highest-resolution 3D printer available on campus, the microArch S240 opens new possibilities for researchers seeking to prototype structures at the micro scale.
