MD System:
Deployable WAAM System

Deployable WAAM Unit

Shippable WAAM factory in a standard 20ft or 10ft ISO container. 

Supply Chain Sovereignty

Localized, on-demand metal 3D printing bypasses fragile supply lines and slashes lead times from months to days.

Operational Readiness

Ruggedized, climate-controlled industrial setup engineered for off-grid, outside field operations.

Ruggedized Guarding

Compact 10ft ISO container (~3.0 x 2.4 x 2.6 m) for high mobility, or a 20ft container (~6.1 x 2.4 x 2.6 m) with an integrated utility room.

8-Axis Robotics & Volume

8-axis robotic setup with up to  2,200 x 1,400 x 1,500mm print envelope, handling parts up to 750 kg.

Welding & Materials

Powered by a multi-transfer power source to print any weldable alloy at deposition rates up to 6 kg/h.

Off-Grid Deployment

Fully generator-ready with integrated climate control and safe operations even in harsh environments.

Advanced Add-Ons

Optional integrated 3D scanner for rapid reverse engineering and repair.

Automation Tools

Includes automated torch calibration, torch cleaning, tip changer, and active cooling engineered to automate manufacturing.

Mobile Manufacturing Hub

Deployable Everywhere at Any Time

The MD Metal AM System transforms stationary metal manufacturing into a mobile, off-grid production hub. Housed in a standard ISO shipping container, it’s ready for flatbed truck, rail, or ship transport to remote locations to enable on-site manufacturing.

Rapid Setup:

Integrated utilities allow for fast field deployment upon arrival.

Off-Grid Capable:

Generator-ready with internal climate control and safety measures.

Austere Environments:

Ruggedized system to operate in harsh conditions.

Suppy Chain Sovereignty

Strategic Autonomy for Critical Industries

Relying on fragile and far-off global supply lines for critical parts creates severe operational bottlenecks. The MD System acts as a relocatable manufacturing asset that grants complete independence:

Multi-Sector Utility:

Ideal for forward-deployed defense, maritime, offshore energy, mining operations, or similar industries.

Slash Lead Time:

Significantly faster delivery of larger metal parts.

Rapid Replacement & Repair:

Manufacture obsolete components or repair worn parts directly on-site.

Automated manufacturing

Operational Readiness

Ruggedized industrial system with integrated robotic 3D metal printing for remote operations. The MD System includes   MX3D’s MetalXL on-premises. MetalXL manages the end-to-end process from CAD toolpath generation to live monitoring and data logging. Supported by automation tools, it enables the operator to continuously produce metal parts on-site.
