Let’s take a look at the new Desktop Metal Fiber 3D printing system. The Fiber system brings continuous fiber 3D printing to the desktop of engineers and designers. Composites are commonly used in performance automotive, aerospace, and many other industries (consumer goods, and machine design). Composites are great for parts that require the strength and stiffness of metal but at a fraction of the weight. Traditional Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) processes are only suitable for [...]

The Desktop Metal Shop System is the world’s first metal binder jetting machine and it’s designed with the modern machine shop in mind. The Shop System offers superior surface finish and resolution on metal parts and it does this without the labor-intensive support removal required with traditional metal systems. To begin the printing process, the printer spreads metal powder across the build bed. Next, it precisely jets a binding agent to bond loose powder and [...]
