Studio System

Office-grade metal 3D printing of prototypes

The Desktop Metal Studio system was designed from the ground up for easy installation and use. With Bound Metal Deposition technology, individual, strong parts with complex geometries can be produced in a two-stage printing process. This process is supported by software-based monitoring and the effortless removal of support structures.

Printing process

The two-stage printing process in the Bound Metal Deposition process (BMD) comprises the printing itself and the subsequent sintering. Both processes are made very simple by the user-friendly systems: The devices are managed via the associated software, print heads can be changed at the touch of a button and the cartridge system allows material to be changed, refilled and stored quickly.

Step 1 – Prepare

Desktop Metal's secure and web-based software supports you in the creation of construction plans from STL or CAD files. In addition, the software automatically generates supports and control parameters based on the geometry and material of the component.

Step 2 -Printing

Printing is carried out using the Bound Metal Deposition process. To form the component, metal rods are extruded layer by layer. These consist of metal powder, which is held together by polymer binders. Various metal alloys are available for this, such as stainless steel and tool steel.

Step 3 – Sintering

After printing, the components are placed in the system's oven and heated to temperatures close to the melting point. This removes the binder and the metal particles fuse together. This process compacts the components by up to 98%.

Central advantages

Simple printing process

The simple operation of the office-ready Desktop Metal Studio System enables the production of complex, high-performance metal parts in a two-step process.

Large variety of materials

Desktop Metal's constantly expanding material library offers a large selection of stainless and tool steels. These not only guarantee strong components, but also eliminate the need for the otherwise typical solvent debinding phase thanks to their special formula.

Seperable support technology

The Studio System's Seperable Support Technology automatically creates seams in the support structures and prints a ceramic interface material between these support structures and the component. This allows the supports to be easily removed by hand after printing.

Software controlled workflow

The integrated Fabricate software enables the automated production of metal parts without the need for specialist knowledge. In addition to scaling the parts and creating support structures, the software continuously monitors the printing process to optimize production.

Applications

YE6 Burner tip

316L

This burner tip is a replacement part that could no longer be manufactured conventionally due to a lack of tools. With the Studio System, the component could be reproduced with similar properties to the originally cast part. In addition, the production costs could be reduced by 72%.

Spray nozzle

316L

Due to the complex geometry of this component, it is typically cast and extensively post-processed during production. With the Studio System, the gland can be printed ready for use in a two-stage process without the lead times and set-up costs of casting. The process therefore enables one-off and small series production.

Skateboard trucks

17-4 PH

Additive manufacturing enables the production of complex geometries and innovative designs that are not possible with casting or other traditional production methods, for example. With the Studio System, not only can these geometries be printed, but they can also be designed to be aesthetically pleasing and have the required strength and lightness.
