Print Complex Metal Parts
Introducing the first metal 3D printer for mass manufacturing, the Production System. This powerful system delivers the speed, quality, and cost-per-part needed to compete with traditional manufacturing methods.
It works by combining two powder spreaders and one print unit into a Single Pass Jetting process (SPJ) to both spread metal powder and print. With SPJ technology, the Production printer produces printing speeds of up to 8200 cubic cm/hr, 100 times faster than laser based systems.
The non-contact system maintains a uniform powder wave in front of the compaction roller. This creates a powder bed with consistent density throughout the build regardless of the build box length, traveling at speeds as high as one meter per second.
