A complete solution, Metal X has everything you need to go from design to fully functional metal parts — the Metal X 3D print system is an end-to-end manufacturing solution. The Metal X is up to 10x less expensive than alternative metal additive manufacturing technologies — and up to 100x less than traditional fabrication technologies like machining or casting.
Affordable, reliable, and easy to use, the Metal X print system gives you everything you need to go from design to fully functional metal parts faster than ever before. Up to 10x less expensive than other metal additive manufacturing technologies — and up to 100x less than traditional fabrication technologies like machining or casting. Print parts up to 9.8 x 7.2 x 5.9 in.
Download Data SheetThe first step in transforming a printed “green” part into fully dense metal is debinding. The Wash-1 immerses the green part ina specialized fluid which dissolves the primary binding material, leaving the part semi-porous so the remaining binder can easilyburn off during sintering. This debinding step purifies the final metal part and helps keep your sintering furnace clean.
Download Data SheetWith an expansive active hot zone (19,644 cm3 / 1,199 in3), the Sinter-2 is the perfect solution for mid-volume batch productionand for larger parts. Create high-purity metal parts by using sintering technology built with a carbon-free retort.
Download Data SheetUsing 17-4 PH Stainless Steel, Shukla Medical is able to prototype in the same material as many of their final products. They now utilize their composite 3D printer for initial prototypes, and then the Metal X system for the final prototype that goes into the hands of surgeons for evaluation.
The original actuator housing consisted of four parts - a cast and machined main housing, lasercut cover plate, and two bolts to fasten the housing assembly together. Stanley Infrastructure engineers worked with Markforged to redesign the part for printing on the Metal X. Instead of a four part assembly, the redesigned part prints in one piece without support material, saving manufacturing and engineering time.
The first 3D printed tool Guhring UK made was a basic milling cutter using H13 Tool Steel. “Within one day, we had designed and printed a tool in Onyx, and we could immediately see if we were going to come up against any problems in manufacturing it. Within five days, we had printed and sintered a fully functional metal cutter body."
Copper is a soft, ductile metal that is known for its high thermal and electrical conductivity. It is commonly used in welding processes, heat sinks, and in electrical applications.
Applications: Heat Sinks, Bus Bars, Weld Shanks
17-4 PH Stainless Steel is a hard, stiff, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel. It excels in manufacturing environments and for low-volume parts.
Applications: Low-Volume Production, Replacement Parts, Complex Geometries, and Corrosion-Resistant Parts.
Parts printed in Inconel 625 are significantly easier to produce than with traditional manufacturing methods, allowing you to easily create functional prototypes and end-use parts for harsh environments. Inconel 625 is corrosion resistant, non-magnetic, stable under high temperatures (up to 1000C), and has high ductility.
Applications: Marine, Chemical Processing, Aerospace, and Power Processing end use parts.
H13 Tool Steel works excellently in high temperature and can withstand drastic cooling. This, coupled with abrasion resistance and machinability, makes it ideal for high-temperature tooling and wear-resistance pieces.
Applications: Forming Tooling, Wear-Resistant Inserts, Dies and Punches, and High Temperature Tooling.
A2 Tool Steel is a highly versatile air-hardening tool steel often regarded as a “universal” cold-work steel. It offers a combination of good wear resistance (between O1 and D2) and toughness.
Applications: Sheet Metal Fabrication, Forming Prototypes, Punches, and Dies.
D2 Tool Steel offers excellent wear resistance and is widely used in cold-work applications that require high compressive strength, sharp edges, and abrasion resistance.
Applications: Sheet Metal Fabrication, Punches and Dies, Shearing Tools, and Wear-Resistant Inserts.
