Business Wire
The ExOne Company (Nasdaq: XONE) (“ExOne”), a global provider of
three-dimensional (“3D”) printing machines, 3D printed products,
and services to industrial customers, announced a further
strengthened material collaboration with Sandvik Additive
Manufacturing, a division in the high-tech global engineering
Sandvik Group.
With more than 150 years in the metals industry, Sandvik has
unique and leading expertise across the additive manufacturing
(“AM”) value chain, from metal powder to finished components. The
material collaboration leverages ExOne’s knowledge of binder
jetting print machines and processes with Sandvik’s leading
capabilities in materials technology, metal powders, different
AM-processes for metals – and world-leading post processing
technologies like machining and heat treatment. The purpose of the
collaboration is to create a leading edge process solution that can
be offered to a broad industrial customer base.
The material collaboration will focus on qualifying and
optimizing Sandvik’s Osprey™ metal powders with ExOne’s binder
jetting machines. The collaboration will include studying powder
and binder interactions, developing 3D machine process settings,
and creating post-processing heat treatments for various materials,
initially including stainless steels, tool steels, and nickel
alloys.
John Hartner, Chief Executive Officer, ExOne, commented on the
new program, “We are excited to announce our material collaboration
partnership with Sandvik Additive Manufacturing. Sandvik is a world
class engineering company with extensive knowledge of materials and
their applications to various industries. We look forward to
advancing ExOne’s binder jetting process with this new
collaboration and creating new solutions that enable broader
customer adoption.”

Additive Manufacturing, commented, “This material collaboration
will strengthen our ongoing R&D cooperation with ExOne even
further. It also offers great opportunities to qualify our leading
Osprey™ metal powders for the ExOne platform, to enhance end
customer productivity and product performance.”
Sandvik has multiple ExOne binder jetting machines. Sandvik is
also a beta customer for ExOne’s new X1 25PRO™ production machine
that is being revealed at the RAPID + TCT event in Detroit, MI, May
20th - 23rd.
