top-of-the-line model in the popular S-Max series of sand 3D
printers and will again take center stage at the ExOne booth in
GIFA Hall 12 at Messe Dusseldorf. S-Max printers make up 80+% of
all customer Super Fleets globally
- S-Max Pro will showcase new reliability enhancements such as a
reinforced mixing chamber that even further improves uptime and
process stability, as well as the world’s widest range of binders,
which includes inorganic and now BPA-free furan binders
- Launched in 2022, the S-Max Flex robotic sand printing system
will also be on display, with a new low price for foundries eager
to enter the next era of digital casting
- S-Max Flex will also be the first ExOne system since the brand
was acquired by Desktop Metal to be outfitted with DM Live Print
machine-control software, a friendly and easy-to-use interface that

ExOne will showcase the brand’s innovative, market-leading
portfolio at the 2023 GIFA International Foundry Trade Fair in
Germany, to be held June 12-16, at Messe Dusseldorf. ExOne will be
located at the entrance of Hall 12 in Booth C02.
“We are as committed as ever to our digital casting customers
such as BMW Group, Kimura Group, Grede, Humtown, and others who are
some of our highest production customers worldwide,” said Ric
Fulop, Desktop Metal Founder and CEO. “Foundries have laid the
blueprint for how binder jet 3D printing will scale beyond castings
with direct metal printing, and we’re eager to deepen our
relationship with the world’s metalcasters as we improve
accessibility of our systems downstream to every foundry.”
A Celebration of Customer Loyalty
In addition to showcasing continued reliability enhancements to
its popular digital casting systems, ExOne will also be celebrating
the loyalty of its customers throughout the show.
More than half of all ExOne systems installed globally are now
located at customer sites that have two or more sand printers.
What’s more, a growing number of these customers are Super Fleet
customers with three or more systems running full production
volumes, usually around the clock.
The average size of an ExOne Super Fleet today is five systems,
with the largest fleet at Humtown Products in Ohio with 13
machines. The S-Max family of sand 3D printing systems is the
workhorse of these Super Fleets, making up more than 80% of all
Super Fleets worldwide.
The German car manufacturer BMW Group also is a Super Fleet
customer with a full fleet of ExOne Exerial sand 3D printing
systems producing cores for water jackets with inorganic binders
for various combustion engines in the light metal foundry at the
BMW Group Landshut plant.
Showcasing New Foundry Innovations
At GIFA, ExOne will also showcase a wide range of its
market-leading sand binder jet 3D printing solutions, along with
binders and applications from customers, including GF Casting
Solutions Leipzig GmbH, Fraunhofer IGCV and Nexteam Group.
The S-Max Pro will be shown with an efficient box-in-box
footprint with transport shuttle, as well as a dosing unit for
powder additives. A visual representation of the Exerial – which
remains the company’s flagship system for volume production of
sandcastings with sustainable inorganic binding systems – will also
be showcased in the booth.
Aidro, a Desktop Metal subsidiary and a pioneer in the volume
production of next-generation hydraulic and fluid power systems
through metal additive manufacturing (AM), will also be part of a
showcase that demonstrates a range of manufacturing capabilities
for foundry customers – from traditional metal casting to modern
production with digital sandcasting to production using direct
metal binder jet printing on the Desktop Metal Shop System™.
Foundry Innovation Under $500,000
First announced in 2022, the S-Max Flex robotic sand 3D printer
will also be shown at GIFA. Expected to retail below $500,000, the
upgraded system is slated for global availability by year’s
end.
Among the enhancements, the new S-Max Flex is the first ExOne
sand printing system to feature Desktop Metal Live Print
machine-control software with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.
The software runs on a touchscreen system that will be on display
at the show for users to experience firsthand.
This entry-level silica sand and furan system, which uses
Desktop Metal’s patent-pending Single Pass Jetting™ (SPJ)
technology, will make sand 3D printing accessible to foundries
worldwide.
