Accessible Metal Powder-Bed Fusion 3D Printing

Xact Core™

Making quality metal printing accessible requires innovation. Xact Metal’s printing technology is built on the patent-pending Xact Core, a high-speed gantry system platform that allows light, simple mirrors to move quickly and consistently above the powder bed on an X-Y axis.

• Avoids the use of complex rotating galvanometer mirrors and F-theta lenses
• Maintains a constant laser angle across the whole build plate
• A simplified gas flow over the powder bed due to the smaller build chamber

Patent-Pending Recoater

Recoater performance can directly affect the quality of your build. Our patented recoater design offers a variety of benefits.

• Unique “bulb” shape of the recoating element spreads powder like a blade, yet provides compaction similar to a rolling element
• Compliant design allows the recoater to negotiate out-of-plane growth and continue printing
• Mounting the recoater to the machine lid allows the entire recoating mechanism to be removed from the build chamber
• Easy access to the build chamber allows for simple recoater replacement and adjustments
