KUALA LUMPUR, April 20 (Bernama) -- Desktop Metal has announced the launch of the ExOne S-Max® Flex, a scalable, large-format binder jetting system that 3D prints sand tooling, which foundries use to quickly cast complex metal designs for the aerospace, automotive, and energy industries, among others.
“To achieve our vision of Additive Manufacturing 2.0, we need to make production 3D printing practical in terms of speed, cost, and material availability for a broad range of applications,” said Co-Founder and CEO of Desktop Metal, Ric Fulop in a statement.
“We designed the all-new S-Max Flex from the ground up leveraging SPJ technology with the idea of making premium sand 3D printing accessible to every foundry, so that more companies can take advantage of the benefits of AM 2.0, such as distributed, local production, and remain competitive for the long term.”
ExOne, which was acquired by Desktop Metal in late 2021, is the leading digital sand printing solution provider for foundries.
The new S-Max Flex combines ExOne’s sand printing expertise in process and materials with proprietary Desktop Metal SPJ technology in an affordable architecture to deliver new value to foundries that have long wanted an S-Max but found the premium price out of reach.
The S-Max Flex will debut at CastExpo 2022, North America’s largest metalcasting trade show, from April 23-26 in Columbus, Ohio.
Additional early buyers of the new S-Max Flex include Founders Service & Manufacturing Co Inc of Deerfield, Ohio, and HTCI Co. of New Carlisle, Ohio.
Desktop Metal’s high throughput SPJ technology delivers a build rate up to 115 l/h, which offers foundries quick and reliable production to operate more efficiently in times of ongoing labour shortages, as well as a faster return on investment.
The S-Max Flex joins the premium S-Max® and S-Max® Pro solutions that are used in foundries worldwide.
Based in Burlington, Massachusetts, Desktop Metal Inc is accelerating the transformation of manufacturing with an expansive portfolio of 3D printing solutions, from rapid prototyping to mass production.
