Boston Micro Fabrication have unveiled their latest innovation —microArch® S150— at the TCT Asia tradeshow for additive manufacturing. The microArch® S150 is a cost-effective industrial 3D printing system designed for high stability, performance and efficiency. It empowers users to achieve cost-effective industrial-grade 3D printing, making advanced manufacturing more accessible than ever.

The microArch® S150 uses Boston Micro Fabrication’s Projection Micro Stereo Lithography (PµSL) technology to produce parts from photosensitive resins, ceramic slurries or biocompatible resins. It can produce parts up to 80 x 48 x 50mm with a resolution of 25µm. This resolution goes well beyond polymer 3D printers that use FDM technology to extrude from filaments.

Here’s what makes the S150 a game-changer:

• Interactive Touch Screen – equipped with an integrated touchscreen that features built-in printing parameters for standard materials and supports customised printing, enhancing the success rate of printing
• Side-Shifting Membrane – automatic calibration system for faster production turnaround time
• Scraper and Roller – eliminate air bubbles to improve surface quality, spread layers in seconds and handle higher viscosity materials (up to 20,000cps)
• Resin Vat Heating System – heated up to 60℃, suitable for multiple application scenarios
• Platform with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coating – easier printed part removal and enhanced scratch resistance, increasing platform lifespan
• Fresh Air Filtration System – built-in HEPA13 filter and inner chamber UV-C (253.7nm) sterilisation, providing clean and safe operational environment
• Flexible Options – S150 can be placed in the biological safety cabinet, desktop and other office environments; T5ml and T20ml micro resin vats are optional

Some examples of parts that the microArch S150 can easily produce include:
