Using Micro 3D Printing for Short-Run Production
There is considerable R&D focus on how to make parts bigger with additive manufacturing or 3D printing. At the same time, engineers are designing smaller and more complex products, especially in the medical-device and electronics fields. This trend toward miniaturization also requires that the components and assemblies inside these products are also smaller, and often more complex.

The quality and accuracy of BMF PµSL parts is very unique, and truly mimic expensive micro molded parts, and now we can have parts ready for test within 1-2 days rather than 1-2 months, as well as reducing the huge costs associated with tooling manufacture and reworking as the new products evolve.
We can also explore designs previously out of reach due to manufacturing limitations. Our main focus is to lift our prototyping capabilities to the highest possible level, both in quality and speed. BMF will help us accomplish that.
– Sally van der Most, DSS Manager, Sonion NL
We chose BMF’s microArch 3D Printer due to its ability to replicate critical micro features. Their unique Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) technology prints 3D parts with ultra-high resolution and accuracy, which is key to our business. This is the first 3D printer we’ve encountered that can print micro-precision parts, with the dimensional accuracy and precision that our customers require at this stage of product development. We have put the BMF parts through the same rigorous CT scanning inspection process of our micro molded components and were amazed that dimensionally the parts fell within the tolerances required.
Our customers have been equally amazed.
– Donna Bibber, VP of Business Development, Isometric Micro Molding, Inc.
We have been looking for some time for a machine that can reliably produce parts in this size range as we were at the limits of other machines or would have to sink cost into other manufacturing methods- typical micro injection molding or other micro machining activity that can be expensive and prohibitive to R&D iterations. The ability to rapidly produce these types of parts combined with an open ecosystem is unmatched.
– Sam Wilson, STORM Lab UK, Institute of Robotics and Autonomous Sensing, University of Leeds
The parts say it all. The first time you see a part from a BMF printer you will be amazed. 3D printing, until now, has never been able to produce parts of such precision, and accuracy.
Being able to capture thin walls and fine features at this scale and resolution, with unmatched reliability, is unprecedented from any 3D printing technology. This will absolutely usher in new industries, that have previously ignored 3D printing, to the world of rapid design iteration.
– James Grimm, Senior Business Development Manager, Empire Group

German and American engineers have created a more affordable alternative to Spot robots - the Solo 8 four-legged open source platform from 3D printed parts and relatively inexpensive, commercially available stuffing. Who needs a headcrab?
Everyone knows about the dog-like Spot robots developed by Boston Dynamics, but not everyone can afford such an assistant: the commercial version of Spot costs from seventy-five thousand dollars.
For that kind of money, you can either buy a premium car, or use the robot itself as a vehicle, as Adam Savage did.
A team of German and American engineers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and New York University was interested in a cheaper version, suitable not so much for beer rides as for laboratory research. The result of the Open Dynamics project was another four-legged robotic system, conceptually similar to Spot and called Solo 8. Technically, this is a much simpler robot, but quite functional and relatively inexpensive. Elements of the supporting structure can be easily reproduced using a household 3D printer, and the filling can be found in stores.
“Developing a robot like this by a research team could easily take four years. In addition, a wide range of knowledge is required. Our platform is a collection of knowledge from several teams. Now any laboratory can go online, download files, print parts on a 3D printer and buy other components.
Any user can add additional features within a few weeks,” says German team leader Alexander Badri-Schprovitz.
Solo 8 weighs just over two kilograms and, thanks to its high power ratio, has good agility. The design of the limbs allows the car to correct itself in the event of a rollover on its back, and the rigidity of the chassis can be changed using a "virtual" suspension, that is, electric motors with adjustable torque. The car runs, jumps and climbs on inclined surfaces, the platform can be equipped with additional stuffing on its own, if desired.
All the necessary documentation for building your own Solo 8 can be found on the official website of the project, and the report of the scientific team can be found at this link.
