Dutch startup Metal-Base is disrupting the metal additive manufacturing market with the pre-launch of The Metal 1.0, an LPBF system priced under 10,000 Euro. By utilizing a 60W blue diode laser and a gantry-based architecture, the printer achieves full melting of 316L and Inconel 718 while running on a standard wall outlet at less than 800W. This move signals an Ender 3 moment for metal AM, shifting functional prototyping from six-figure industrial systems to accessible lab-scale production. The adoption of open-source Klipper firmware and OrcaSlicer compatibility further dismantles the proprietary barriers of traditional metal printing. 🚀 #Metal3DPrinting #LPBF #AdditiveManufacturing #Innovation #Engineering
