The XM200C

Accessible Metal Powder-Bed Fusion 3D Printing

Our first high-caliber 3D metal printer, the XM200C, is making waves in the industry, establishing a new level of price and performance. The XM200C deploys a laser-based powder-bed fusion technology in which a fiber laser selectively melts thin layers of metal powder, one at a time, to create parts directly from a 3D-CAD model. Powered by our patent-pending Xact Core™ gantry system, the XM200C continues to revolutionize metal 3D printing.

Metal powder-bed fusion provides high-quality and complex parts. It reduces total cycle time by about 50% and removes the need for wash/debinder and sintering/oven equipment used in bound metal deposition, atomic deposition additive manufacturing or other FDM-like metal 3D printers.

Leading Technology

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

Intuitive Touchscreen
User Interface

The modern, interactive graphic user interface (GUI) for the XM200C makes loading files, setting up builds and monitoring the build process quick and easy.

Home screen displays real-time build monitoring with two cameras
Chamber setup screen allows customer to optimize print parameters
Build queue screen provides a description of all builds to be printed
Monitoring screen shows behavior of important parameters such as bed temperature, chamber temperature and pressure and oxygen percentage
