ABOUT MX3D

With over 10.000 kg of metal 3D printed objects and over 40 man-years of experience since 2014, MX3D is the company that brought large-scale robotic wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and its market to life and made enabling 3D metal printing more flexible, faster and cheaper.

Now, MX3D is ready to transform the market further by launching the first dedicated robotic WAAM software enabling companies, engineers and designers to print end-to-end large-scale 3D metal objects in-house.

MX3D became immediate innovation leader in 3D metal printing by presenting its jaw-dropping
12 meter long fully functional 3D printed stainless steel pedestrian bridge which will soon be installed in the heart of Amsterdam.

VISION

…

Robots will help shaping our future. Automated and autonomous production of unique computer generated parts and structures will become a standard production method in the next 10 years. By applying artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, robots will be able to perform their tasks better every time. In our vision, MX3D Robots will build lightweight constructions like bridges or complete buildings, optimized custom ships or even Mars colonies in full autonomy.

…

OUR MISSION

…

MX3D has a clear mission: introduce the advantages of 3D metal printing to new, high impact industries. In close collaboration with global industrial partners our software engineers create intelligent, robust and easy to use robotic additive manufacturing technology enabling users to 3D print large objects in metal.

OUR TECHNIQUE

…

MX3D has developed the first dedicated Robotic Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) software to enable end-to-end, large-scale 3D metal printing.

Large-scale 3D metal printing is strongly desired by industrial companies, architects and researchers. Moreover, there is no other dedicated tool available for WAAM technology that is able to go from design to print in one go. MX3D enables large-scale 3D metal printing by joining together our proprietary technology, a standard industrial robot and a power source

Modern Industrial Robot
e.g ABB with IRC5 controller
Wire Arc Welding Machine
MIG/MAG power source, e.g. Oerlikon Citowave III or Fronius TPS/i 500i CMT
MX3D Box
Continuous data logger and process controller
Build plate
Metal print platform
Standard Safety Measures
Ventilation, robot cage safety mechanism, weld light protection

USP’s

…

The MX3D product philosophy ensures that the 3D metal printing technique becomes available to a whole new range of industries. The aim is to build a robust machine that is suitable for onsite construction & heavy-duty industrial use outside of a controlled environment.

Freedom of form: by using industrial robots with (at least) 6-axis of freedom we can print far more complex shapes than with traditional 3-axis gantry systems.
Outside the Box: because we have this many axis of freedom, we can print parts that are bigger than the reach of the robot by simply moving the robot during the print. We call this Outside the Box printing.
Material usage and waste reduction: The increased freedom of form results in the possibility of printing shapes that are optimized for weight and strength. This way a significant reduction in material use can be achieved.
Cost reduction: The cost for a WAAM printing cell is around 1/5th of an SLM- powder-bed printer. Add to that the cost of the base material is around 10 times lower (€5,- per kg for stainless steel wire against €50,- for stainless steel powder for SLM) and it becomes clear that for large scale printed metal objects, WAAM will often be the technique of choice.
Speed: with a very short CAD-to-print-time (less than an hour in most cases) and a deposit-rate of over 2 kilograms per hour our technique can highly increase production time and dramatically reduce lead time.
