As research and industry continue to push the boundaries of miniaturization, the ability to rapidly fabricate complex micro-scale structures has become increasingly critical across biomedical engineering, microfluidics, photonics, electronics, and advanced manufacturing.
To support this growing demand for accessible microfabrication capabilities, BMF (BMF Precision Tech Inc.) and Emlogic (Embedded Logic Solutions Pty Ltd) have established the “BMF × Emlogic Micro Fabrication Center in Australia”, creating a local platform that enables researchers, engineers, and innovators to explore high-resolution micro-3D printing technologies closer to their own development environments.
Rather than simply introducing a new manufacturing tool, the collaboration aims to build a bridge between Australia's world-class research ecosystem and next-generation microfabrication capabilities, helping transform complex ideas at the micron scale into functional prototypes and practical solutions.
From Scientific Discovery to Physical Innovation: Closing the Microfabrication Gap
Australia has long been recognised for its strong research capabilities in biomedical sciences, medical technologies, materials science, and engineering. Universities and research institutions across the country are actively exploring emerging technologies such as organ-on-chip platforms, microfluidic systems, miniaturised sensors, optical components, and precision medical devices.
However, translating these innovations from concept to physical prototype often requires access to advanced fabrication technologies capable of producing intricate microstructures with high precision.
Traditional microfabrication approaches, including photolithography, machining, and mould-based processes, can involve complex workflows, specialised facilities, and long fabrication cycles. These limitations can slow down design iteration and restrict exploration of new concepts. The BMF×Emlogic Micro Fabrication Center in Australia addresses this challenge by providing local access to high-resolution additive manufacturing technology, enabling users to move from digital designs to functional microstructures with greater speed and flexibility.
A Partnership Built Around Local Expertise and Application Development
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in North Parramatta, Australia, Emlogic (Embedded Logic Solutions Pty Ltd) has established itself as a trusted provider of advanced manufacturing and prototyping technologies across Australia and New Zealand. Unlike traditional equipment distribution models, Emlogic brings extensive local engineering experience in technology implementation, customer training, and technical support. Its expertise spans additive manufacturing solutions, embedded systems, and PCB prototyping, enabling customers to integrate advanced tools into real-world development workflows.
Through the partnership with BMF, Emlogic will provide local support for microfabrication applications, including equipment demonstrations, technical consultation, printing services, and application exploration.
S150 Experience: Enabling Faster Iteration and Flexible Microfabrication Research
As part of the collaboration, Emlogic has incorporated BMF’s microArch® S150 desktop micro-3D printing system into its operations and has reported highly positive experiences with the platform.
“Our experience with BMF’s microArch® S150 has been very positive,” said the Emlogic team. “As a compact desktop system, it is easy to operate with a push-button workflow, making high-resolution micro-3D printing accessible and efficient. The S150 enables fast design iteration within a single day, which is highly valuable for prototyping and product development.”
The team further highlighted the flexibility of the system, noting that the platform allows users to optimize printing parameters and explore new materials and complex geometries.“The microArch® S150 offers excellent precision, reliable print quality, and strong flexibility for both practical applications and research and development. It is suitable not only for routine production but also for material development and advanced design exploration.”
Featuring 25μm optical resolution, the microArch® S150 is a compact desktop 3D printing system that combines ease of use with industrial-level accuracy. Its push-button workflow and capability for rapid same-day iteration make it an ideal platform for applications such as microfluidics, precision engineering, electronics, biomedical devices, and research-driven innovation.
Establishing a Local Ecosystem for the Future of Microfabrication
The creation of the BMF×Emlogic Micro Fabrication Center in Australia represents more than the deployment of advanced equipment, it represents a commitment to building a collaborative environment for micro-scale innovation.
Through this initiative, BMF and Emlogic will support customers across Australia and New Zealand by providing micro-3D printing technology demonstrations, application consultation and workflow optimisation, prototype fabrication support, material and process exploration, technical training and knowledge exchange.
By connecting advanced microfabrication technology with local expertise, the center will help accelerate innovation cycles and enable more organisations to explore the possibilities of manufacturing at the micron scale.
