Please contact us to learn more about optional features, such as auto-leveling and auto-calibration, available across different printer series.
BMF’s open 3D printing material system allows you to print with its own specially formulated liquid polymers, third-party materials, or your own materials.
With collaborations with some of the largest material manufacturers in the world, 20,000 cp printing capability and access to thousands of resins, you have a variety of options available that will allow you to achieve the results you need based on your application.
HTL is a high performance engineering material with high strength, rigidity, and heat resistance, able to withstand temperatures up to 114°C. It enables high resolution features, suitable for a broad range of engineering and medical applications including those which require autoclave sterilization.
BIO is a biocompatible resin suitable for non-implantable medical applications. Bio can undergo sterilization and has passed numerous ISO 10993 biocompatibility tests for skin iritation and sensitization, toxicity, cytotoxicity, pyrogenicity, and in vitro hemolysis.
AL (Alumina) Ceramic is perfect for applications involving tooling, casings and housings, and medical devices – able to withstand high temperatures with high strength properties and chemical resistance.
SR is a soluble resin that can be used as a sacrificial material to print single-use molds to manufacture parts in other materials. SR dissolves in a 5:95 solution of sodium hydroxide to distilled water.
3D-printing hydrogel materials enable high-resolution fabrication of biocompatible soft structures for advanced biomedical applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering.
