- The collection is the first time Desktop Metal will display
applications across its expanded Team DM portfolio, which now
includes metal, polymer, elastomer, ceramic, composite, and
upcycled wood 3D printing solutions, following several
acquisitions
- Application examples in the automotive, aerospace, energy,
medical, and consumer goods industries will illustrate the benefits
of additive manufacturing, such as speed, part consolidation,
lightweighting, and new innovations, including performance
improvements
- One highlight of the collection is a hydraulic valve binder jet
printed in steel by Desktop Metal’s Aidro brand, delivering a 60%
weight reduction and improved performance
- A range of Desktop Metal’s of Additive Manufacturing (AM) 2.0
printer platforms will also be on display at the show, led by the
Production System™ P-1 — a gateway printer to the Production System
P-50, the world’s fastest system to 3D print metal parts at
scale
- Other printing platforms to be on display include the Desktop
Metal Shop System™, the ETEC Xtreme 8K photopolymer DLP printer,
the Desktop Health Einstein™ printer for dental professionals, and
the ExOne S-Max® Flex robotic sand printer for foundries
- Together, Desktop Metal’s parts collection and printers
demonstrate how AM 2.0 stands ready to de-risk supply chains with
its ability to produce high-quality, cost-competitive end parts and
tooling on demand, while delivering sustainability and innovation
benefits
Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE:DM), a
global leader in additive manufacturing technologies for mass
production, today announced it would display a historic collection
of more than 300 3D printed production parts May 17-19 in Detroit
at RAPID + TCT, North America's largest and most influential AM
event, alongside production-capable printing platforms for metals,
polymer, elastomers, ceramics, composites, and upcycled wood
materials.

Desktop Metal will showcase more than 300
3D printed parts across its metal, polymer, elastomer, ceramic,
sand, and upcycled wood material portfolio. The parts were 3D
printed on the company’s Additive Manufacturing 2.0 platforms.

Desktop Metal’s parts and printer collection, which will greet
attendees in Booth No. 3301 at the main entrance of the show,
demonstrates how the AM industry stands ready to deliver on
President Joe Biden’s recently announced AM Forward initiative to
accelerate the adoption of industrial 3D printing. Biden spoke in
detail May 6 about the power of 3D printing to modernize the
nation’s manufacturing infrastructure and lower prices by producing
high-demand parts locally with the technology.
“3D printing technology is incredible. It can reduce the parts
lead times by as much as 90 percent …,” Biden said. “That all helps
to lower the cost of making goods here in America. … These
technologies revolutionize the way of life; they keep prices low
for businesses and families. So, let’s make them in America again.
Let’s build the future here in America.”
As a global industry leader in AM, Desktop Metal’s mission is to
enable production 3D printing with accessible AM 2.0 technologies
so companies of all sizes can deliver more advanced parts and
products faster, while also producing more sustainably and closer
to the point of end use.
Desktop Metal’s new portfolio of Team DM brands was carefully
curated over the past year to deliver on this mission. By pairing
3D printing technologies that are truly production-capable – such
as binder jetting and digital light processing – with
high-performance materials and select applications, the Desktop
Metal team is passionate about driving the next generation of
additive manufacturing.
“The COVID pandemic has exposed the weaknesses of our current
manufacturing infrastructure, and we applaud the Biden
Administration for working to fix it. The time is right for
manufacturers of all sizes to take a new look at the low cost and
high quality delivered by today’s additive manufacturing
technologies, which can de-risk supply chains and offer many other
benefits,” said Ric Fulop, Co-Founder and CEO of Desktop Metal.
“With today’s AM technologies, every country can have its own
self-sustaining manufacturing industry with parts that can be
shipped digitally and printed quickly.”
Production 3D Printing on Display at RAPID + TCT
While Desktop Metal will showcase a variety of AM 2.0 platforms
at the show, a highlight of the portfolio will be the Production
System P-1, which was launched during the height of the COVID
pandemic and will be shown for the first time in a public form at
RAPID.
A high-speed 3D printing system for end-use metal parts, the P-1
was designed as a gateway to the top-of-the-line Production System
P-50 – the world’s fastest system to 3D print metal parts at scale.
The P-1 shares the same patent-pending Single Pass Jetting™ (SPJ)
technology as the P-50, as well as common software and electronics
for easy scalability.
The P-1 is now being used for a variety of development and
serial production applications by a growing number of customers
worldwide, including Ford Motor Co., Indo-MIM, Formula 3D
Corporation, Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), and Cetim,
the Technical Centre for Mechanical Industry in France.
Two new videos released today showcase small manufacturers using
the technology for production today – including FreeFORM
Technologies, a metal parts manufacturing startup in St. Marys,
Pennsylvania, and Christian Tse Designs & Manufacturing, a
luxury design and manufacturing house in Monrovia, California.
The Production System is one of several Desktop Metal printing
platforms that relies on binder jetting technology, which is widely
regarded as one of the 3D printing methods likely to deliver mass
production additive manufacturing at high speeds and competitive
prices.
Nearly a dozen metals are now qualified for printing on the
Production System P-1 and P-50 – delivering excellent part quality
and surface finish, with sintered part mechanical properties that
meet or exceed applicable industry standards, and final part
densities up to or exceeding 99 percent. To date, the list of
qualified materials includes:
- Stainless steels, including 17-4 PH, 316L, 420, 440C, and DM HH
SS
- Tool steels, including D2 and S7
- Low-alloy steels, including 4140
- Copper alloys
- Nickel superalloys, including IN625
- Precious metals, including silver and gold
- Ti64 and 6061 in development
