Technology & Products
Key Products
B3D+ Hybrid Manufacturing; Micro 3D Printing (BMF microArch S240); 5-Axis Milling & 6-Axis Turning; CAD Design & 3D Visualization; Part Marking & Engraving
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Combines additive design freedom with subtractive precision, saving material and costs. VERIFIED: Achieves 10 µm resolution via BMF microArch S240, validated by BMF partnership and customer adoption for micro-parts. DEFENSIBLE: Process integration expertise and regional equipment exclusivity.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Bridges the gap between additive manufacturing and traditional machining by delivering 10 µm resolution parts with CNC-level precision, reducing post-processing time and enabling complex micro-geometries for high-demand applications.
How They Differentiate
Unlike standard service bureaus that separate printing and machining, Bantle 3D's B3D+ workflow integrates both in-house, achieving 10 µm resolution and tighter tolerances for micro-components without outsourcing post-processing.
