In the rapidly advancing field of medical devices, engineers face numerous challenges in designing devices that are smaller, more precise, and biocompatible. The rise of collaborative robotics and the demand for tighter tolerances necessitate innovative solutions.
Micro 3D printing for medical devices is emerging as a revolutionary manufacturing method, enabling designs once impossible with traditional processes.
Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF) leads this innovation with Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) technology, offering micron-level accuracy at scale
Why Traditional Methods Fall Short
Conventional manufacturing methods like micro injection molding and CNC machining struggle with:
- High tooling costs that are prohibitive for low-volume production.
- Time-consuming lead times that slow product development cycles.
- Design limitations when producing complex internal features or ultra-small components.
