Jinshi 3D launches DiMetal-100, a 140kg desktop LPBF metal printer for dental labs and small-batch production

Jinshi 3D has introduced the DiMetal-100, a desktop-class metal laser powder bed fusion printer measuring 690x720x1000mm and weighing about 140kg, running on standard 220V power. The machine offers a Φ120mm x 100mm build volume, a 300W ytterbium fiber laser paired with a high-precision galvo scanner reaching speeds up to 7 m/s, and layer thicknesses from 0.02 to 0.1mm. It processes 316L stainless steel, titanium alloy, and mold steel, targeting dental crowns and frameworks, material test coupons, and small precision structural parts rather than large tooling or aerospace structures. The build chamber is sealed with vacuum-assisted atmosphere control and precision filtration, and uses top-mounted powder feed with a flexible-blade, variable-speed recoater aimed at consistent layer quality across repeated material and parameter changes.

The launch extends a broader shift of industrial-grade LPBF capability into benchtop form factors, reducing the facility, staffing, and machine-scheduling overhead that previously kept metal AM out of university labs, corporate R&D groups, and small dental shops. Rather than replacing large production systems, DiMetal-100 fills a gap in Jinshi 3D's existing lineup, which already includes the DiMetal-300G green-laser system, the industrial-scale DiMetal-450, and the FGF-1800 Pro pellet printer, giving the company coverage across SLM, SLS, SLA, FGF, and FDM processes. Jinshi 3D holds China's national-level Little Giant SME designation, reflecting an established base in equipment, materials, and software rather than a single-product debut.

For dental labs specifically, an in-house desktop metal system removes minimum-order-quantity and outsourcing-turnaround constraints on small-batch crown and framework runs, while research users gain a lower-cost path to test new powders and parameters without booking time on shared industrial machines.
