Dixon Valve printed specialized grippers jaws on the Metal X. These jaws, designed to hold fittings by their inside threads, needed to be hard enough to withstand the abrasion of threads while conforming to the unique shape of the fixture.

Stanley Black & Decker tested three identical parts printed on the Metal X. These parts proved durable through tens of thousands of cycles and strong enough to handle significant compressive load while also being 53% lighter.
