Metal-Base has launched the Metal 1.0 on Kickstarter, marking a pivotal moment by bringing Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology below the 10,000 USD price point. This compact, floor-standing system supports industrial materials like 316L stainless steel and Inconel 718, traditionally reserved for machines costing ten times more. By drastically lowering the entry barrier, Metal-Base is transitioning metal AM from high-capital industrial centers to decentralized R&D labs and startups. This shift signals a systemic democratization of high-fidelity metal prototyping. 🏭🏗️ #3DPrinting #MetalAM #AdditiveManufacturing #Innovation #TechNews
