X160Pro
High-speed series production for factory halls.
The X160Pro from Desktop Metal is the world's largest binder jetting system for the production of metal, ceramic or composite parts. Equipped with the most advanced technology, it is designed for continuous production, but also supports small batch production and rapid product development.

Printing process
The X160Pro system is based on the binder jetting process and has been enhanced with advanced Triple ACT technology, which enables the production of functional precision parts with high density and repeatability.
Step 1: Print
In the binder jetting process, a binder is applied to a layer of loose powder via several thousand nozzles according to the component cross-section. The system also features industrial piezoelectric print heads and the patented Triple ACT compaction technology, which dispenses, evenly distributes and compacts ultra-fine powders with strict parameter controls.
Step 2: De-powdering
Once assembly is complete, the build box is removed and placed in a powder station for coarse and fine de-powdering using an air picker. A built-in powder recycling system with powder sieving removes loose powder from the parts and recovers it.
Step 3: Sintering
After depowdering, the components are sintered in a furnace at temperatures of up to 1400 °C. At temperatures close to the melting point, the binder escapes from the component and the molecular chains fuse together, allowing the desired mechanical properties to be achieved.
Central advantages
Highest throughput
The X160Pro is the largest binder jetting system available for metal and offers more than 2.5 times the build volume of comparable systems.
Maximum material flexibility
The system was designed to switch between different materials, including more than two dozen metal, ceramic and composite materials as well as different binders.
Patented Tripe ACT
The advanced new system for dosing, distributing and compacting ultra-fine powders scores with industry-leading density and reproducibility.
Highest final part density
With a final part density of between 97-99%, the X160Pro delivers the best results compared to other additive manufacturing technologies.
Applications
Qualified material variety
Metal
The industry standard materials include the stainless steels 17-4PH, 304L and 316L as well as M2 tool steel and Inconel718. Further metals are currently under development
Ceramics
Common ceramic materials include carbon, glass, silicone carbide and tungsten carbide cobalt. Other ceramics are currently under development.
Binder
The open platform makes it possible to choose between the special binders CleanFuse, AquaFuse, FluidFuse and PhenolFuse, which offer unique advantages depending on the material.
