Easy-adopt binder jetting
We’ve packaged binder jetting, the most promising 3D printing technology for speed and mass production, in an easy-to-use solution to fit seamlessly into your workflow. The Shop System is an ideal tool for anybody who wants to produce metal products quickly with an outstanding surface finish and resolution at scale.
-
Unparalleled productivity and quality
With production rates up to hundreds of green parts per day, the Shop System produces parts up to 10x faster than laser powder bed fusion. Employing a ~1 pL droplet size, it achieves superior surface finish, bleed control, and rich feature detail at high speed. The Shop System is your doorway into the future of metal production.
-
A complete, turnkey solution
The Shop System contains all the equipment you need to begin binder jetting metal parts, including the furnace. Powder is recovered via a built-in powder recycling system and the Desktop Metal Furnace delivers quality and reliable sintering with the ability to process highstrength binders in a user-friendly format.
-
Simple sintering software
Our Live Sinter™ software produces sinter-ready printable geometries. Even beginners now have the power to simulate part behavior and automatically compensate for distortion in the furnace to 3D print and sinter metal parts successfully and further refine results with scanbased adjustments.
3D Print Six Qualified Materials
The Shop System is a turnkey, end-to-end solution using engineered powders and processing parameters optimized to deliver exceptional part quality and ensure part-to-part repeatability. Cost effectively print end-use metal parts in a variety materials including;
- 17-4 PH Stainless Steel
- 304L Stainless Steel
- 316L Stainless Steel
- Cobalt Chrome
- Nickel Alloy IN625
- Nickel Alloy IN718
Easy Sintering with Included Live Sinter™ Software
Live Sinter™ software is a powerful, multi-physics application that provides advanced simulation tools to predict and correct for errors when sintering to deliver final components with tight tolerances. Rather than 3D printing a part straight to have it warp out of specification, Live Sinter prints a negative offset that will sinter to meet dimensional tolerances with unique distortion compensation to help manufacturers not only reduce costs, but enable sintering to be successfully applied to a wider range of applications.
