The METAL X

A Breakthrough in Metal 3D Printing

From the company that revolutionized 3D printing with composite carbon fiber, comes a leap in additive metal manufacturing. The Metal X greatly accelerates innovation, delivering metal parts overnight using a new technology at a fraction of the cost. Leave 20th century manufacturing in the dust and create anything from industrial replacement parts to injection molds to working prototypes.

ADAm

The intersection of 3D printing and metal injection molding, ADAM (atomic diffusion additive manufacturing) is an all new way to build metal parts.

Design

CAD your part, upload the STL, and select from a wide range of metals. The Eiger software does the rest making printing the right part easy.

Green Part

Just like metal injection molding, as-printed parts are “green” and scaled up to account for shrinkage during sintering. In this state the parts can be easily polished by hand.

Sinter

Green Parts go through a washing stage to remove some of the binder. They are then sintered in a furnace and the metal powder fuses into solid metal.

Final Part

Pure metal and up to 99.7% dense, the final parts are ready for use. They can be processed and treated just like any other metal parts.

Stainless Steel 17-4 & 316L

17-4 stainless steel combines high strength, corrosion resistance, and hardness, making it widely used in aerospace, medical and petroleum industries. We use it for assembly fixtures and tooling on the Mark X.

Also known as marine grade stainless steel, 316L stainless steel exhibits very good corrosion resistance and excellent weldability.

Aluminum6061 & 7075beta

As a general purpose aluminum, 6061 combines good machinability, strength, and weldability. It can additionally be anodized with a good finish. We use it for many of the machined components in the Mark X.

7075 Aluminum is one of the strongest aluminum alloys. With good fatigue strength and a high strength-to-weight ratio, this alloy is stronger than common structural steels (A36, 1018). We use it on the kinematic coupling in the bed of the Mark X. It's also common in aerospace and automotive racing.

Tool SteelA-2 & D-2beta

A-2 tool steel is air-hardened with excellent impact resistance. We use it for punches, dies, and form tooling on the Mark X.

The high carbon and chromium content of D-2 tool steel provides great hardness and abrasion resistance (but not as tough as A-2). D-2 is often used for cutting tools.

Print with

InconelIN Alloy 625beta

Inconel's strength combined with its impressive heat resistance makes it ideal for heat and pressure shielding applications. This Nickel-based superalloy is commonly used in jet engines and medical applications, and is very hard to machine. It is also very chemically resistant.

Print with

TitaniumTi-6Al-4Vbeta

Bearing the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal, Titanium 6-4 is ideal for lightweight applications and has both high tensile strength and fatigue resistance. This bio-compatible material is widely used in medical applications such as orthopedic joint replacements.

Furnaces

Over 30 years of metal injection molding development has resulted in a diverse array of sintering furnaces for processing green parts. Any of these will work, but here are a few recommendations.

The Tube

Affordable, reliable and repeatable. Ideal for prototyping and small part production.

Request More Info ›

The Workhorse

Same wide range of materials as the starter tube, but with a larger hot-zone for bigger parts.

Request More Info ›

The Big Box

A build volume that fits the largest parts with room to spare and unlocks batch production.
