Desktop Metal Shop System 3D-Drucker

The Shop System introduces high quality binder jetting to an entirely new market of machine stops. Shops can now cost effectively 3D print end use metal parts with unparalleled speed and productivity. Designed with the modern machine shop in mind, the Shop System is built to fit seamlessly into your workflow. Produce parts with superior surface finish and resolution versus laser-based 3D printing systems at a fraction of the cost. Affordable turnkey solution The Shop System contains all the equipment your machine shop needs to begin binder jetting — from print through sintering. And with a range of build volume configurations (4L, 8L, 12L, and 16L), the Shop System is designed to scale to your shop’s throughput. Simplified post-processing Parts on the 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. 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. 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. With a high-speed, single-pass print engine, the Shop System produces high-quality metal parts up to 10x faster than laser powder bed fusion - meaning you can 3D print up to 70kg of metal parts per day. Print a build per shift Average cycle times of 6-12 hours enable a new build every shift. With the ability to 3D print tens to hundreds of near-net shape parts each day, you can reserve machinist hours for refining critical features. The Shop System is a tooling-free manufacturing process. Change over to a new job at the press of a button and process multiple complex jobs without the need for custom setups. 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, and less than 0.1µm Ra with mass finishing. The Shop System™ produces fully dense, solid parts, no debind or infill required. High-resolution printing The Shop System features the highest resolution single-pass binder jetting system on the market. With 1600x1600 DPI native (33% higher resolution than comparable systems), and over 670M drops per second, the Shop System delivers high-speed, high-resolution 3D printing. Adaptive print engine Users don’t have to sacrifice feature detail or resolution for speed. Employing a 1 pL droplet size and automated drop multiplexing up to 6 pL, the Shop System achieves superior surface finish, bleed control and rich feature detail at high speed. To avoid jet-outs and print issues the 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. The Shop System is designed to seamlessly integrate additive manufacturing into your shop’s workflow to improve productivity across any range of manufacturing scenarios. Mixed-volume production Produce parts with different geometries simultaneously without the need for multiple setups. Cost effectively 3D print low-volume batches of complex parts due to elimination of tooling. Mid-volume production Produce hundreds of near-net-shape parts every day with dramatically reduced labor costs and expanded geometric flexibility. Technology introduction The Shop System is an end-to-end, single-pass binder jetting solution delivering high-resolution 3D printed parts at a fraction of the time and cost. For each layer, the printer spreads metal powder across the build bed, and precisely jets a binding agent to bond loose powder and define part geometry. Layer by layer, metal powder and binder is deposited until the entire build volume is packed with bound parts and surrounding loose powder. Once an entire build is complete, the build box is removed and placed in a powder station for bulk and fine depowdering—with the help of a hand-held air pick. Loose powder is removed from the parts and recovered via a built-in powder recycling system with powder sieving. Depowdered parts are placed onto trays in a shop-safe, high-throughput furnace for batch sintering. With an external gas hookup and temperatures reaching 1400°C, the Shop System furnace is able to deliver quality and reliable sintering in a shop-friendly format. An end-to-end solution. The Shop System printer features the highest resolution printhead on the market with over 70,000 nozzles jetting 1pL droplets at nearly 10 kHZ to achieve high resolution, 3D printed parts at a fraction of the cost and speed of laser-based systems. 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. The 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.
