Testimonial – Tim Grogan from Valentium – Medical Devices

Run time – 1:48 min

Tim explains how the precision and accuracy of BMF 3D printers have helped them to produce rapid prototypes as well as final products for medical applications. BMF helped them to bring their prototypes to reality in a very short timeframe and he described their precision as “superior for miniature applications”. Furthermore, they are looking to using BMF’s technology and materials for projects in the future.

The BMF microArch® S240 – Micro-precision 3D printer

Run time – 3:32 min

The microArch® S240 offers higher print speeds and larger print volumes using strong, more durable materials for the needs of industrial production using their Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) technology.

Most significantly, the microArch® S240 incorporates an advanced roller over the top of the membrane that results in build speeds up to 10x faster than current platforms and it has the ability to handle higher viscosity materials. These make it an extremely cost-effective and efficient solution for short-runs of high-precision industrial parts.
