3D Printers Powered by Metal Binder Jetting

Desktop Metal Shop System™ is the ideal solution for turnkey batch production of fully dense customer-ready parts. It is the first binder-jet metal 3D printer that can cost-effectively 3D print small end-use metal parts with unparalleled speed and productivity. Internal machine shops, job shops, and service bureaus can now manufacture complex metal parts in low-mid volumes without the overhead, labour, and complexity of traditional laser-based metal 3D printing systems. With the Shop System, you can work with familiar metals like stainless steel, tool steels, and superalloys to build one-ofs to 100s of parts per day.
