A New Way to Manufacture with Popular Engineering Metals: Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing
The ADAM technique produces robust, accurate parts across a wide range of engineering metals. Parts are printed,
layer-by-layer, using a metal powder contained in a plastic binder. After printing, plastic binders are removed and the
part sintered into customary engineering metals. By sintering the entire part at once, ADAM technology allows metal
crystals to grow through the bonded layers, effectively erasing the layer-to-layer strength reduction of many other 3D
printing processes.
At launch, the Metal X will print high-end stainless steels such as 17-4 and 303. Tool Steel for injection molding
applications and other metals are actively under development and will be available later this year.
The Metal X Print System
Built on innovations pioneered in the Mark X carbon fiber printer, the new Metal X features an industrial-grade print
platform, enabling accurate creation of metal parts in an amazingly compact enclosure. The first printer to feature
ADAM technology, the hardware, software, and materials work together to ensure a seamless printing experience
that any engineer or manufacturer can learn quickly.
The Metal X Also Offers:
- Large build volume (250mm x 220mm x 200mm)
- In-process laser inspection for dimensional accuracy, introduced with the Mark X in 2016
- Integrated metal-material handling system
- Full integration with Eiger cloud software platform (available also in local storage and on-premise versions)
- Cloud-enabled build camera
Pricing & Availability
- The Metal X starts at US $99,500 and is available to order now with the ability to print high-end stainless steels 17-4 and 303.
- It will ship in September.
