Desktop Metal’s Transformative Metal Fabrication Technologies to be Showcased at IMTS 2024 Page 1

Custom classic car influencer Rob Ida of New Jersey-based Rob Ida Concepts uses Desktop Metal’s Digital Sheet Forming (DSF) technology on the Figur G15 Pro to create components for a 1955 Tucker Carioca, a concept vehicle from legendary automaker Preston Tucker that never made it from drawing to production.

“The Desktop Metal team is excited to share the latest advancements in our groundbreaking metal technologies with one of the largest audiences of metal fabricators in the world,” said Ric Fulop, founder and CEO of Desktop Metal. “The Desktop Metal product portfolio is ideally suited for the five major industry groups represented at IMTS, including machine shops, metalworking machinery and fabrication, aerospace, automotive, and industrial machinery such as food processing equipment.”

Desktop Metal’s laser-free metal printing technologies are now qualified to process more than 40 materials, including ceramics. Systems on display at IMTS include:

• Studio system – Launched in 2017, this office-friendly metal 3D printer uses patented Bound Metal Deposition (BMD) technology, an extrusion-based process in which rods—metal powder held together by wax and a polymer binder—are heated and extruded onto the build plate, forming a part layer by layer. After printing, the binder is removed and sintered, densifying the metal particles.
• Shop system – Launched in 2017, this entry-level binder jet 3D printing system is ideal for batch or series production of metal parts in stainless steel and nickel alloys such as IN625 and IN718. In binder jetting, an industrial print head selectively deposits a binder onto a bed of powder particles, creating a solid part, one thin layer at a time. The resulting parts are similar to those made in metal injection molding (MIM) and are then sintered in a furnace to high densities that meet or exceed MIM requirements.
• InnoventX – Launched in 2016, the InnoventX is a compact, easy-to-use open material binder jet 3D printer that produces high-quality small parts. Ideal for metal or ceramic.
• PureSinter oven – Launched in early 2024, this groundbreaking vacuum furnace for one-step debinding and sintering delivers high purity, high efficiency and high reliability, simplifying the sintering process.

Dozens of customer 3D printed parts made from stainless steel, copper, nickel alloys and tool steel are on display, including M2 injection molding tools, tungsten carbide cutting tools, and parts made from aluminum and titanium.
