The M1 Metal AM System offers a turnkey solution for printing high-quality, medium-to-large-scale metal parts. Built with quality hardware components from renowned manufacturers, the M1 Metal Am System also integrates MetalXL, MX3D’s dedicated WAAM-Workflow for advanced CAM, control/monitoring, and post-print data analytics.
The M1 Metal AM System has a deposition rate, with an average of 1-3kg per hour (up to 5kg/h for large solid parts). With higher speed, you can reduce lead time, manufacturing time and parts cost much more effectively.
With our integrated metal alloys/printing strategies library and dynamic in-process parameters control, we also reach excellent material properties on a large range of metal alloys when using a high deposition rate.
We have developed our own full workflow software (MetalXL), fully dedicated to WAAM technology to achieve high quality and completely integrated with a sensor system to have real-time control.
Our M1 Metal AM System allows the production of every weldable alloy, including aluminium and copper-based alloys.
With our technology, the costs are up to 50% lower CAPEX and >5x cheaper OPEX compared to powder-based 3D Metal printing.
The M1 Metal AM System includes:
Enhanced print control and performance.
Our control system achieves enhanced performance and productivity through dynamic sensors for continuous control and monitoring, which supports the operator with real-time feedback, high-resolution data logging, and advanced insights into the printing process.
MetalXL CAM is the dedicated interface for path planning, which includes an extensive printing strategy library for various metal alloys, feasibility check tools, and advanced slicing/solving.
MetalXL Live is the print monitoring interface. It allows the user to simulate the print, control the process in real time and log the data thanks to the MetalXL control system.
MetalXL Viz, for post-printing analytics. It displays a 3D report of the acquired data for extensive post-printing analytics, for defects detection, certification of the printed parts and strategy refinement.
LRQA has awarded MX3D a certification for their Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing facility. By incorporating the M1 Metal AM system, we can support our customers in getting the additive manufacturing facility certification of their own M1 Metal AM System, both for standard and custom versions.
A new M1 Metal AM System is deployed at the Shimoda Iron Works Co., Ltd. factory site in Japan.
“The M1 Metal AM System allows us to start printing optimized parts for various industries including the wind power industry immediately. We were impressed by the ease of use and the quality of the materials. Moreover, this new process is much attractive for us because it will contribute to SDGs by minimizing both material and energy loss. MX3D’s M1 makes Shimoda the nr. 1 Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) expert of Japan, a technology that we believe will see a bright future,”
Shinji Shimoda, President of Shimoda Iron Works (Japan)
