Additive Industries introduces the MetalFab 300 Flex

LOS ANGELES - June 26, 2024 - PRLog -- Unprecedented flexibility to increase build area on demand
MetalFab 300 Flex signifies Additive Industries' commitment to enable adoption of industrial metal AM. With its proven powder bed fusion (PBF) technology, the MetalFab 300 Flex promises to unlock new possibilities for manufacturers with a range of application/part sizes. Unlike traditional metal AM printers, MetalFab 300 Flex offers a cost-effective entry package with a novel business model in the industry to make it easier than ever for manufacturers to reduce the cost and risk of adopting metal additive manufacturing.

Designed as a cost-effective entry package, the MetalFab 300 Flex will have two full-field 500-watt lasers that can access every corner of a flexible build envelope. The baseline build area will be 11.81 x 11.81 x 15.75in, with the ability to flex access to a larger 16.54 x 16.54 x 15.75in envelope on-demand, either with a monthly or lifetime license. The MetalFab 300 Flex is priced at the same level as a medium frame printer. What sets MetalFab 300 Flex apart is its unparalleled flexibility. An industry first, it's the only printer that lets users increase their build area on-demand. Combining the more accessible price point of a small printer with the versatility in part size of a larger system.

Attracting new market entrants
MetalFab 300 Flex caters primarily to new entrants in the metal AM market, across industries such as automotive, defense, energy including oil and gas, semiconductor, and industrials. Its cost-effective entry package, integrated powder handling and unique flexibility lower the barrier to entry, making it ideal for companies seeking to manage their financial and technical risk as they embrace and develop metal AM.
