Dutch startup Metal-Base is disrupting the market with the Metal 1.0, a compact LPBF printer launching on Kickstarter for under €10,000. This system brings industrial-grade laser powder bed fusion to a price point previously dominated by desktop plastic machines. By supporting 316L stainless steel and Inconel 718, it democratizes high-density metal production for small labs and startups. This shift significantly lowers the entry barrier for functional metal prototyping and localized manufacturing. 🚀 #3DPrinting #MetalAM #Innovation #Manufacturing #TechNews
