PHTA installs micro 3D printer for medical device manufacturing

The Precision Health Technologies Accelerator (PHTA) at The University of Birmingham has installed a microArch S240 from Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), a pioneering micro-precision 3D printer designed for short-run industrial production and advanced life sciences R&D.

Built on BMF’s patented Projection Micro Stereolithography technology (PµSL), the microArch S240 uses a flash of UV light to cure entire layers of liquid polymer at micro-scale resolution. This enables the creation of intricate, exact, and replicable parts using industrial-grade materials with a range of attributes.

“We’re thrilled to see the microArch S240 helping to advance medical innovation in the West Midlands,” said Bryan Ferrand,…
