3D printers for manufacturing

Direct Metal Printing

Produce functional metal components without the cost and lead time of tooling.

A high-powered laser welds metallic powders into fully dense metal parts at a resolution up to 25 microns (40 layers per mm) with DMP. Featuring open architecture and a proprietary scan strategy, these machines produce functional metal components without the cost and lead time of tooling. With automated powder handling and excellent atmosphere control, your operators will comfortably and safely process reactive metals.

Benefits of direct metal printing

• Production grade machinery
• Manufacturing quality
• Complex geometry
• Wide range of alloys
• Safe material handling
• Finest detail resolution of any metal printing

The Studio System 2 Metal Printer

Making complex, high-performance metal parts has never been easier.

The Studio System 2 unlocks two-step processing with a fully re-engineered materials library. New material formulations allow printed parts to be placed directly into the furnace, without the need for the typical solvent debind phase. The result is an easy-to-manage two-step process with a nearly hands-free experience.

With easy-to-use hardware, the Studio System 2 allows you to spend less time managing equipment and more time designing and fabricating parts. Change printheads with the press of a button, and change materials quickly with a refillable cartridge system.

Benefits of the Studio System metal printer

• Print to sinter
• Software controlled workflow
• Smart separable supports
• User-friendly hardware
• Reliable processing
• Excellent part properties
• No special facilities requirement
• Hands-off process

Shop System

High-quality binder jetting for an entirely new market of machine shops.

The Shop System introduces high-quality binder jetting to machine shops, which can now cost-effectively print small end-use metal parts with unparalleled speed and productivity. The system is compatible with powders from traditional powder metallurgy processes including stainless steels, tool steels, and super alloys, with engineered powders and processing parameters optimized for exceptional part quality and part-to-part repeatability.

Dramatically increase your shop's throughput: print hundreds of parts per shift and modify your designs at the press of a button. Utilize the entire build box for a single geometry, or nest various part designs, all within a single print setup.

Why shops choose binder jetting

• Small end-use metal parts
• Hundreds of parts per shift
• Stainless, tool steels, and super alloys
• Turnkey end-to-end solution
• Part-to-part repeatability
• Nest designs in one setup

Fiber Printer

Parts stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum.

Fiber utilizes Micro Automated Fiber Placement (μAFP) to produce continuous fiber-reinforced parts stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum. It is the only composite 3D printer capable of μAFP, unlocking exceptional part strength for a desktop printer.

Designed for versatility, the printer supports a wide range of both filament and fiber composites to enable a broad set of applications from consumer goods to automotive. The materials library features three thermoplastic families: PEEK, PEKK, and Nylon 6 (PA6), each with a breadth of fiber-reinforced filaments and μAFP tapes.

Benefits of the Fiber printer

• Micro Automated Fiber Placement
• Multidirectional reinforcement
• Easy to use
• Low porosity
• Closed-loop thermal control
• Affordable
