In recent years, there has been a rapidly growing demand for high-precision fabrication of microstructures in fields such as precision medical devices, microfluidic devices, and electronic components. However, simultaneously achieving "high precision," "productivity," and "cost efficiency" has been a major challenge. Against this backdrop, BMF (BMF Precision Technology), a world-leading micro 3D printer manufacturer renowned for top-class precision in the precision manufacturing sector, is launching its new high-precision micro 3D printers, "microArch® S150" and "microArch® S150 Ultra," in Japan. These products maintain industrial-level high precision while significantly improving productivity through next-generation high-speed manufacturing technology, achieving high cost performance.

Key Features of microArch® S150 / S150 Ultra

### 1. High Precision × High-Speed Manufacturing × High Cost Performance

Industrial-level high-precision manufacturing is achieved with 25μm optical precision. Furthermore, a leveling roller promotes resin fluidity, enabling both high-speed manufacturing and high precision. In particular, the S150 Ultra achieves up to approximately 9 times the manufacturing speed compared to the S150, and up to approximately 20 times compared to the S240 (10μm precision), contributing to a significant improvement in productivity.

### 2. Improved Operability and Workflow Efficiency

Integrated touch panel and built-in standard/custom parameters ensure stable manufacturing. Additionally, a newly developed design eliminates the need for horizontal adjustment of the platform and membrane system (film), significantly reducing setup time.

### 3. Potential for Diverse Material Compatibility

Resin tank heating function controls material viscosity, offering potential compatibility with a wide range of functional materials. It also supports small-volume tanks of 5ml / 20ml (optional), contributing to reduced material loss during expensive material development and micro-scale prototype evaluation.

### 4. Enhanced Stability and Durability

The platform, adopting DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, improves wear resistance, contributing to enhanced platform durability. A clean air system equipped with a HEPA13 filter and UV sterilization function ensures a stable manufacturing environment and compatibility with bio-inks.
