Parts are heat treated to minimize residual stresses and reduce risk of dimensional changes upon part removal.
*Xact Metal does not manufacture or sell commercial furnaces, but is able to provide recommendations upon request.

Parts Removal

Parts can be removed from plate using a bandsaw. Supports make part removal simple while reducing potential part damage.
Smaller components may be removed by hand.

Automatically generated E-Stage supports are designed for quick and easy removal.

Polishing

Industry standard polishing processes can be used to finish the part.
Processes may include light abrasive finishing, media blasting, or electro-polishing.

The capabilities of the XM200G make it well-suited for dental applications, which typically require a fast printing speed, quick job turnover, a high-quality surface finish, and the ability to print very fine components. Designed for easy integration into a facility, the XM200G fits through a standard doorway and requires minimal operation training.
