Production System™
High-speed metal 3D printing for mass production
Production System™
Created by the inventors of binder jetting and single-pass inkjet technology, the Production System™ is designed to be the fastest way to 3D print metal parts at scale.
Excellent part quality
High-resolution 3D printing and a uniform print bed allow the Production System™ to produce dense, high-quality parts capable of performing in the most demanding applications.
With a native resolution of 1200x1200 dpi and layer heights as small as 50 µm, the Production System™ is a precision binder jetting system that can 3D print parts with excellent surface finish and incredibly fine features.
Competitive cost per part
Delivers part cost competitive with traditional mass production techniques through the use of low-cost metal injection moulding (MIM) powders, high-speed 3D printing and the ability to densely nest many parts in a single build.
The Production System™ uses the same low-cost powders used in the MIM industry, allowing customers to access an established powder supply chain with the scale required to support volume production and a variety of readily usable alloys. As much as 99% or more of the loose powder recovered during the process can be recycled, driving further cost efficiencies while reducing waste.
Best in class repeatability
The Production System™ offers robust repeatability, through anti-ballistics technology, print bar redundancy and live optical print bed inspection. Meaning you can print with confidence.
Patented anti-ballistics technology - engineered to reduce powder bed disturbance - drastically reduces variability in the 3D printing process while increasing the longevity of the print bar. This facilitates reliable prints, and excellent part quality.
System
P-1
Designed to bridge the gap between bench top development and mass production, the P-1 offers the same excellent part quality as the P-50 with enhanced process flexibility. Featuring a state-of-the-art print bar with native 1200 dpi, an inert processing environment, and Desktop Metal's patent-pending Single Pass Jetting technology, the P-1 supports non-reactive and reactive materials at speeds more than 10 times those of laser powder bed fusion technologies and is capable of printing multiple builds per shift and direct process transfers to the P-50.
P50
Designed to be the fastest way to 3D print metal parts at-scale, the P-50 leverages Desktop Metal’s patent-pending Single Pass Jetting technology and bi-directional printing to achieve speeds up to 100 times those of laser powder bed fusion technologies⁴, producing parts in volumes and at costs competitive with conventional mass production techniques. Featuring a state-of-the-art print bar with native 1200 dpi, an inert processing environment, and constant wave spreading for print bed uniformity, the P-50 offers the quality, reliability, and economics required for high-volume, end-use applications.
