December 8th,Chongqing BMF Precision Technology Co., Ltd. *** hereinafter referred to as "BMF Precision").Being listed on Fortune is not only an affirmation of BMF's leadership in high-precision manufacturing, but also a recognition of its pivotal position in the global economy. Previously, BMF Precision has been selected into the list of "2023 China's Most Socially Influential Startups" by Fortune for its absolute innovation advantages and business model in ultra-high-precision micro-nano 3D printing technology and ultra-high-precision manufacturing solutions.
BMF Precision was featured in the original article of Fortune.
A pioneer in the transformation of high-precision manufacturing!
With its disruptive micro-nano 3D printing technology and its unique advantages of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, BMF Precision helps basic industries manufacture precision and micro-small parts. ”
The global demand for micro- and nano-scale components is growing, covering a wide range of sectors, from electronic components to medical implants. However, traditional manufacturing methods often struggle to meet these precision machining needs. With the trend of increasing precision, refinement and miniaturization of end products, the manufacturing problems of mold making, machining and stamping are becoming increasingly prominent and more expensive. In this context, BMF offers a unique solution for the market. John Kawola, President of BMF Precision Europe and America, elaborated: ". .Our micro-nano 3D printing technology supports the production of micron-sized parts and is very competitive and cost-effective in terms of throughput and productivity。He further emphasized: "At the current scale of manufacturing, there is no other company that can combine both. ”
BMF's micro-nano 3D printer developed by BMF Precision has adopted:Mapping microstereolithography (PSL) technologyfor rapid prototyping and more efficient production of high-tolerance-controlled, high-resolution parts. For example, dental veneers, which are only one-third the thickness of conventional products, and biochips that can mimic living tissue. With strong financial strength and a large global customer base, BMF Precision is based in China and has a global layout, and has set up overseas branches in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan. BMF Precision is advancing simultaneously from four aspects: equipment, service, technological innovation and terminal application, committed to the development and production of unprecedented ultra-high precision parts, driven by innovation, constantly explore the boundaries of micro-nano 3D printing technology, with high-precision manufacturing for technology empowerment, for the future development of the industry into infinite possibilities.
Since the launch of the global platform at the end of 2018,BMF has established close cooperative relations with nearly 2,000 industrial enterprises and scientific research institutions in 35 countries around the world。Worldwide, the company has installed more than 400 printing systems and provided equipment and printing services to more than 1,800 customers. On the basis of the RMB 300 million Series C financing in 2022, BMF Precision successfully completed 1With the D round of financing of 700 million yuan, the total financing in the past 12 months has reached 4700 million RMB. John Kawola said: "These financing results fully demonstrate the high level of trust and support that the investment community has in BMF. ”
BMF's success is due in large part to the global vision it has embraced since its inception. John Kawola said: "We knew it back in the early days of the companyThe strategic goal of building a global business networkto accelerate the vigorous development of enterprises. To achieve this, BMF has established regional offices around the world, hired local talent, and developed a unique brand communications strategy tailored to enter each new market.
Meet the growing demands of the healthcare sector
BMF's unique micro-nano fabrication technology has attracted many customers because of its advantages in helping the development of basic industries. In the field of electronics and optics, as radio frequencies continue to increase, reducing antenna size has become key to increasing processing power. At the same time, in the medical device industry, reducing the impact of non-invasive surgery and drug delivery methods has also become a focus of public attention. John Kawola says: "In many areas, we see an urgent need for the machining of micro components. ”
In the case of drug research, for example, traditional methods often involve expensive, time-consuming, and controversial animal experiments to assess potential drug interactions with living tissues. In search of more efficient and safe research methods, researchers are constantly experimenting with other approaches, such as cultivating tissues in vitro or simulating microarrays that reconstruct tissues and organs. However, there is a fundamental problem with these alternatives:Cells can only thrive under conditions similar to the human environment, which requires an adequate supply of nutrients around the cells and ensures the efficient expulsion of waste products.
This has to mention BMF's precision biochips. This chip is designed with microviasThe transport of substances in the capillary wall is simulated, enabling a more accurate simulation of real biological processes, which helps to grow living tissue, creating more opportunities to save lives and significantly reducing the time it takes for drugs to screen, test, and validate new drugs. "We strongly believe that this innovative concept, along with this range of end-use applications, will contribute to the future development of cell and tissue growth and related drug testing," said John Kawola. He stressed.
BMF has also made important breakthroughs in the field of minimally invasive surgical equipment. Through continuous collaboration with Beijing Tongren Hospital, the Boston China team successfully designed and produced an intraocular stent for glaucoma. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. The device, which is less than 3 mm long, has shown satisfactory results in five phase 1 clinical trials. It is not onlyReduces the complex steps of glaucoma surgeryIt also reduces the process, which might have taken 45 minutes, to just 3 to 5 minutes. In addition, BMF has produced an ultra-thin, strong zirconia veneer that is only one-third the thickness of traditional dental veneers, allowing patients to retain more enamel. For many people who pursue orthodontics and whitening, this product simplifies the straightening process, bringing:**of** experience
Expand into new markets
A continuous focus on innovation opportunities in key industries has become part of BMF's corporate culture. "Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors, semiconductor test and packaging, and microrobotics are gaining traction," said John Kawola. He emphasized, "Every member of BMF Precision is actively learning Xi understanding new technologies and applications every day. ”
Over the next decade, the 3D printing industry will continue to expand and improve its hardware, software, and materials to achieve a wider range of applications. Of course, BMF is confident in its role in the design and manufacture of next-generation products. "We focus on application development and technological innovation," said John Kawola, "and BMF will lead the way." ”
BMF's China team worked hand-in-hand with a hospital in Beijing to design and produce a game-changing stent that significantly shortened the surgical process for glaucoma.
BMF's precision veneers are only one-third the thickness of traditional veneers, allowing for greater retention of enamel.
BMF's precision biochips are designed with micropores that mimic the transport of substances in the capillary wall. This design simulates real biological processes more accurately than other drug research methods. About wealth
