Desktop Metal Studio 3D Printer | Affordable Metal 3D Printing for the Office

The Studio 3D Printer from Desktop Metal is designed to be the first office friendly, end-to-end solution for 3D printing complex metal parts in house.

Here are some of the benefits of the system

10x cheaper
The Studio System is up to ten times cheaper than comparable laser-based systems. With purchase and financing options, it’s the only metal 3D printing system that is cost-effective for engineering teams.

Safe for the office
We eliminated lasers and powders to make the Studio System safe for any facility. Unlike other systems, there are no requirements for third party equipment or special facilities—just power and an internet connection.

An end-to-end solution
The Studio System is a three-part solution that automates metal 3D printing. Tightly integrated through Desktop Metal’s cloud-based software, it delivers a seamless workflow for printing complex metal parts in-house—from digital file to sintered part.

HOW IT WORKS

1) Prep
Secure, web-based software constructs build plans from STL or CAD files, automatically generating supports and control parameters based on part geometry and material.

2) Print
Layer by layer, a green part is shaped by extruding bound metal rods—metal powder held together by wax and polymer binders—in a process called Bound Metal Deposition™.

3) Debind
The green part is immersed in proprietary debind fluid, dissolving primary binder and creating an open-pore channel structure throughout the part in preparation for sintering.

4) Sinter
As the part is heated to temperatures near melting, remaining binder is removed and metal particles fuse together causing the part to densify up to 96-99.8%.
