Desktop Metal Live Sinter produces quality parts that meet form and dimensional tolerances right out of the furnace, in one or two iterations. Today we’re going to show you an effective way to ensure that metal 3D-printed parts meet form and dimensional requirements right out of the furnace. Although metal 3D printing has many advantages, it can be challenging to predict the final part geometry due to the many physical forces introduced during the sintering [...]
Desktop Metal has compiled the top 5 reasons we see the food and beverage industry moving to metal 3D printing. While mentions of 3D printing for food may bring to mind chocolate extruded into cool decorative shapes, additive manufacturing is actually transforming the industry behind the scenes – making food and beverage processing equipment safer, more productive, and delivering all-new innovations to the nearly $60 billion industry. If you’ve ever watched an episode of “How [...]
Bound Metal Deposition™ (BMD) vs. Binder Jetting Metal 3D printing can be transformational, unlocking new design freedoms for part innovations and allowing for tooling-free production of spare parts or new product iterations. From office-friendly 3D printing without loose powder on the Studio System to the fast speeds of the world’s best-selling metal binder jetting machine, the Shop System, Desktop Metal has the technologies that offer the perfect fit to get started with metal 3D printing [...]
