Boston Micro Fabrication (BMF), a global leader in micro-precision 3D printing, announced the launch of the BMF Clear, an optically transparent photopolymer resin engineered for applications requiring exceptional light transmission and micron-level accuracy, such as microfluidics, photonics, advanced optical components, biomedical devices and more.
With greater than 90% light transmittance, this breakthrough material enables engineers and innovators to additively manufacture complex, internally structured micro-scale devices that were previously unachievable with 3D printing. BMF’s Clear opens the door to high-fidelity innovation and broader application in critical research and commercial environments.
One such opportunity lies in scalable manufacturing, where BMF Clear enables the reliable production of complex micro-scale devices and integrated optical features that have traditionally been difficult to manufacture in volume.
This includes applications such as microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems with fiber alignment channels, freeform micro-lenses printed directly onto fiber optic tips, chip surfaces or sensor arrays, and integrated waveguides or photonic interfaces for sensing and data communication.
By pairing true optical transparency with micron-level precision, the material facilitates the transition from early-stage innovation to real-world production.
