×Designed for engineers as an end-to-end solution, the Studio System is the only way to print metal parts in-house. The complete system, including printer, debinder and furnace, is up to ten times less expensive than comparable, laser-based systems. By eliminating the use of lasers and metal powders, the Studio System is safe for any facility. The Studio printer uses Bound Metal Deposition™ (BMD), where bound metal rods are extruded similar to how plastic FDM printers work. This eliminates the safety requirements typically associated with metal 3D printing, meaning there are no lasers, no inert atmosphere, no material overflow, no powder chamber to refill and no separate sieving system required on the 3D Printer.
The Studio System’s furnace combines SiC heating elements and high-powered microwaves to sinter the printed parts after primary binder is removed. It uniformly heats the material to just below melting point, removing binder and fusing metal particles to form dense parts without the residual stresses of laser-based systems. Fully automated with closed loop thermal control and sized to fit through an office door, it delivers industrial-strength sintering in an office-friendly package.
The Studio System was designed from the ground up for simple installation and use. Unlike other systems, there are no special facilities or 3rd party equipment required–just power and an internet connection.
With a generous build area of 300 x 200 x 200 mm (W x D x H), the printer is capable of producing 16cm3 per hour, and supports a maximum part weight of 10kg. Minimum layer height is an impressive 50 microns.
With Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections, it is flexible and easy to control thanks to the supplied DM Cloud software and compatibility with STL, IGES, JT, VRML and other common native file-types.
