Technology & Products

Key Products

MX Series metal 3D printers (MX-100, MX-120, MX-150, MX-220, MX-300, MX-400) and FX Series industrial fiber lasers (FX-12), utilizing Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology and fiber laser systems.

Technological Advantage

Leverages a strategic merger between Vulcan (advanced manufacturing innovation) and Burgmaster (precision machine tool expertise), combined with leadership experience from Tesla and Desktop Metal to optimize hardware costs without sacrificing reliability.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Democratizes metal additive manufacturing by delivering professional-grade LPBF performance at a disruptive sub-$40,000 price point, previously reserved for systems costing $100,000+.

How They Differentiate

Mastrex differentiates by offering Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology—typically costing over $100,000—at a sub-$40,000 price point. Unlike competitors like Markforged or Desktop Metal's Studio System which use extrusion-based methods requiring complex debinding and sintering, Mastrex provides direct-to-metal industrial precision at an entry-level cost.
