Metal 3D Printers

Metal 3D printers harness cutting-edge additive manufacturing techniques to directly craft intricate metal parts. These advanced printers meticulously employ metal powders and harness the power of high-intensity lasers or electron beams. This focused energy selectively melts and fuses successive layers of metal, culminating in the creation of remarkably precise and complex components.

The printed part, emerging from this meticulous metal 3D printing process, undergoes subsequent stages. It starts as a green part and then undergoes debinding and sintering. The green part showcases the raw potential, which transforms through debinding and sintering into a finished, high-quality metal part.

This innovative approach revolutionizes industries like aerospace, automotive, medical, and engineering. It provides unparalleled design freedom, significantly reduces material waste, accelerates production timelines, and grants unprecedented customization capabilities.

In essence, the realm of metal 3D printing embodies a transformative wave of possibilities. It enables the evolution of green parts into fully realized, functional 3D printed parts, showcasing the potential to reshape the manufacturing landscape across diverse sectors.

DM Studio System 2

Unlike laser-based systems that selectively melt metal powder, the Studio System extrudes bound metal rods—similar to how an FDM printer works. This eliminates many of the safety requirements often associated with metal 3D printing while enabling new features like the use of fully closed-cell infill for lightweight strength.
