System Performance & Specifications
When investing in an industrial metal 3D printer, throughput and material versatility dictate your ROI. The M1 and MX systems utilize wire-based additive manufacturing to achieve exceptional efficiency.
High Deposition Rates
Unlike powder-bed systems that are limited to small geometries and slow print times, our industrial machines are built for heavy industry. Both the M1 and MX systems deliver deposition rates of 2 to 8 kilograms per hour, allowing you to rapidly manufacture multi-meter parts and drastically reduce your time-to-market.
Supported Materials
By utilizing standard, widely available welding wire, our machines ensure predictable metallurgy and vastly reduce material costs compared to specialized AM powders. Industrial 3d printing metal on MX3D systems supports a broad range of certified alloys, including:
- Carbon Steel & Stainless Steel
- Duplex & Super Duplex
- Inconel & Nickel Alloys
- Aluminum Alloys
- Bronze & Copper Alloys
Certification Details & Quality Assurance
In mission-critical industries, a printed part is only as good as its certification. Purchasing an MX3D industrial metal 3D printer means investing in a verifiable, traceable manufacturing process.
- Lloyd’s Register Type Approval: Our manufacturing systems carry Lloyd’s Register Type Approval, a critical prerequisite for producing compliant parts for maritime, offshore, and heavy structural applications.
- Live Process Control: Both the M1 and MX systems are driven by the MetalXL software stack. This includes real-time sensor integration that manages interpass temperatures and dynamically adjusts parameters to prevent porosity and lack-of-fusion defects.
- Digital Twin & Traceability: The system automatically generates comprehensive data logs and a full digital twin of every build. This provides the exact documentation, analytics, and traceability required by quality assurance teams and external certification bodies.
Why Invest in an MX3D Metal AM System?
Transitioning to industrial 3d printing metal provides a profound competitive advantage for manufacturers dealing with high buy-to-fly ratios or severely disrupted supply chains.
- Eliminate Tooling Costs: Manufacture custom impellers, propellers, structural nodes, and heavy-duty forging dies directly from CAD without investing in expensive molds or casts.
- Slash Lead Times: Bypass overseas foundries. Produce mission-critical replacement parts and structural components on-site in a matter of days.
- Unmatched Geometric Freedom: The multi-axis nature of our machines allows for the creation of non-planar features, branches, and overhangs that are impossible to machine from a solid billet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum build envelope of the MX3D systems?
The standardized M1 system features a generous build envelope of 2,200 x 1,400 x 1,700 mm. For larger requirements, the MX system features a fully customizable build envelope that can be scaled well beyond 2,000 mm to accommodate parts weighing up to 20,000 kg.
What are the deposition rates for your industrial metal 3D printers?
Our systems are optimized for heavy manufacturing, achieving high-throughput deposition rates of 2 to 8 kilograms per hour, depending on the material and specific part geometry.
Can parts printed on the M1/MX be certified for industrial use?
Absolutely. The systems carry Lloyd’s Register Type Approval. Furthermore, the integrated MetalXL software provides the comprehensive data logging and digital traceability required to qualify parts for use in the energy, aerospace, defense, and maritime sectors.
Are custom materials supported?
Because the machines utilize standardized industrial wire, they support a vast array of commercially available metals, including aluminum, stainless steel, duplex, and Inconel.
