Productivity Leadership
The MetalFab G2 automates the manual steps of conventional metal 3D printers, ensuring the highest uptime, industry-leading build rates, and the lowest total cost per part.
Large builds
420 x 420 x 400 mm
Highest build rates
Productivity up to 259.2cm3/hr (Ti6Al4V Productivity Parameter, 4 lasers)
Reliable Quality
Part reproducibility of the MetalFab G2 is ensured for industrial-quality production through robust machine design and superior laser calibration technology.
Repeatable process
Automated laser calibration
Closed powder handling
Guaranteed powder integrity
Safety and Ease of Use
The integrated powder handling and automated MetalFab G2 system put the needs and safety of the operator first.
Operator safety
No open powder
Automated process steps
Easy to operate, reducing the risk of human errors
Print up to 8 jobs autonomously
The MetalFab G2 series can automate any workflow that previously required an operator, from remote job starts to de-powdering and sieving to production runs of up to eight sequential tasks.
A repeatable system
The MetalFab G2 series combines high productivity with automated calibrations and integrated powder handling for quality printed parts.
Unique automated laser calibrations ensure repeatability. Connect your QMS to gather vital process and machine data from the MetalFab G2.
Integrated powder handling
The MetalFab G2 maintains metal powder under inert conditions throughout the process, from loading with the optional Powder Load Tool to automated de-powdering and sieving, protecting and maintaining powder quality and life.
No open contact with powder – protects the operator and facility cleanliness.
Automated powder loading: No risks with plastic containers
Automated de-powdering system: Build plate is removed clean
