Technological Advantage
Over 25 years of binder jet technology leadership since 1995 (ProMetal division); exclusive commercial license to MIT inkjet 3D printing patents for metal/ceramic/sand; combined 500+ industrial printer installed base; largest-format sand printers (VX4000); integrated printhead manufacturing in Detroit; global service network across 5 continents; strong IP portfolio
Differentiation
Value Proposition
ExOne Global Holdings combines the two pioneers of sand 3D printing (ExOne and voxeljet) under a single holding structure, offering the broadest portfolio of industrial binder jet 3D printing systems, global printing services, and deep foundry expertise for digital sand casting and metal additive manufacturing.
How They Differentiate
ExOne Global is the only pure-play binder jet company focused specifically on sand casting and foundry applications with a combined 500+ machine installed base. Unlike HP (general-purpose metal) or Desktop Metal (broad portfolio), ExOne Global's singular focus on sand binder jetting with deep foundry domain expertise and decades of application knowledge is unmatched.
