Desktop Metal Shop System 3D Printer Features
Desktop Metal Shop System Metal 3D Printer
The Desktop Metal Shop System™ is the world’s first metal binder jetting system designed specifically for machine shops—enabling shops to easily produce parts with exceptional surface finish and resolution at scale.
Fast
With production rates up to hundreds of green parts per day, the Desktop Metal Shop System™ produces parts up to 10x faster than laser powder bed fusion. Employing a ~1 pL droplet size, the Desktop Metal Shop System™ achieves superior surface finish, bleed control and rich feature detail at high speed.
Unparalleled Productivity
Use 3D printing to amplify your shop’s output. Effortlessly print end-use metal parts with the quality, surface finish and tolerances required to co-exist with machining.
Superior Print Quality
Print customer-ready, high-resolution parts with incredibly fine feature detail. Achieve surface finishes as low as 4µm Ra out of the furnace. The Shop System™ produces dense, solid parts, no debind or infill required.
Optimized Powders & Parameters
Get started quickly with a turnkey, end-to-end 3D printing solution. The Shop System™ features Desktop Metal-engineered powders and processing parameters, optimized to deliver exceptional part quality and ensure part-to-part repeatability.
Print Hard To Machine Designs
The Shop System™ is optimal for printing hard to machine parts with great accuracy. Manufacturing parts with internal cooling jackets are unmachinable in many case, but with the Desktop Metal Shop System™ these complicated parts are manufactured efficiently and to a high standard of accuracy.
COMPLETE SOLUTION
Printer
The Desktop Metal Shop System™ printer features the most advanced printhead on the market with over 70,000 nozzles jetting 1.2pL droplets at nearly 10 kHZ to achieve high resolution, 3D printed parts at a fraction of the cost of laser-based systems.
Powder Station
With easy access portholes, a hand-held air pick, built-in powder sieving and recycling, and a vacuum port for easy powder maintenance, the powder station provides closed-loop powder management and recycling.
Furnace
The Desktop Metal Shop System™ furnace is a shop-safe high-temp sintering oven built for cost-effective high throughput of 3D printed parts. Featuring external gas hookup and adjustable shelving, the furnace easily and affordably scales to mid-volume manufacturing.
Simplified Post-Processing
Parts on the Desktop Metal Shop System™ print fully supported in their powder bed, and feature hand-removable sintering setters. Avoid hours of labor machining off support structures typical to laser-based 3D printing systems and instead achieve customer-ready, near-net-shape parts right out of the furnace.
5x Print Redundancy
To avoid jet-outs and print issues the Desktop Metal Shop System™ features 70,000-plus nozzles spread across five rows. The printhead features 25% higher nozzle redundancy than comparable 3D printing systems, resulting in enhanced print quality and reliability.
Materials
Designed with the world’s foremost metallurgists, the Desktop Metal Shop System combines unique material profiles with part data to construct exact print and sinter plans for every part. Bulk sintering and careful process controls enable mechanical properties similar to traditional metalworking processes. By enabling the use of metal powders from the MIM industry, the Desktop Metal Shop System has access to a wide range of existing materials with new materials coming out quarterly.
