Project description
METAL X (GEN 2)
The Metal X is a revolutionary 3D printer that uses metal powder bound in a plastic matrix to eliminate the safety risks associated with traditional metal 3D printing methods. It also enables unique features like closed-cell infill to reduce part weight and cost. With up to 10× lower cost than other metal additive manufacturing technologies and up to 100× lower cost than traditional manufacturing (e.g., CNC machining or casting), the Metal X system offers unmatched affordability, reliability, and ease of use—delivering fully functional metal parts faster than ever.
