Technology & Products

Key Products

3DM-300 Metallic 3D Printer; Metallic 3D Scara

Technological Advantage

Claims up to 10x lower cost than alternative metal AM technologies and 100x lower than traditional fabrication, with a desktop form factor and simplified workflow. Defensibility unclear as no patents are verified from web sources.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces metal part production cost by up to 10x compared to alternative metal AM and 100x vs. traditional machining/casting, while eliminating complex post-processing and maintenance burdens.

How They Differentiate

3DM-300 is up to 10x less expensive than alternative metal AM technologies like Desktop Metal's binder jetting, avoids powder handling and complex post-processing unlike Meltio's DED, and offers a turnkey printer vs. filament-only solutions like The Virtual Foundry.
