The XM300C

Larger build area. Less build time.

The XM300C offers a large build volume (10 x 13 x 13 in; 254 x 330 x 330 mm) and two or four high-precision independent multi-lasers, meaning your components will be printed up to four times faster. The system uses the patent-pending Xact Core™ technology and is equipped with two feed chambers, which lowers build time and increases productivity. With advanced software capabilities, this machine is designed for industrial-grade applications.

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 XM300C 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
