PRINT PROCESS

DESIGN

CAD your part, upload the STL, and select from a wide range of metals. The Eiger software does the rest making printing the right part easy

PRINT

Metal powder bound in plastic is printed a layer at a time into the shape of your part. Parts are scaled up to compensate for shrinkage during the sintering process.

SINTER

Printed parts go through a washing stage to remove some of the binder. They are then sintered in a furnace and the metal powder fuses into solid metal.

PART

Now comprised only of pure metal, the final parts are ready for use. They can be processed and treated just like any other metal parts.

Post Processing Equipment

WASHING STATION

The Wash-1 immerses the green part in a specialized fluid which removes the primary binding material, leaving the part semi-porous so the remaining binder can easily burn off during sintering. This debinding step purifies the final metal part and helps keep your sintering furnace clean.

External Dimensions: 609 mm x 685 mm x 1067 mm
Weight: 136 kg (300 lbs)
Washing Time: 12-72 hrs typical
Solvent: Opteon SF-79
Working Volume: 356 x 254 x 203 mm

SINTER-1

The Markforged Sinter-1 is a high performing, high value furnace – it’s affordable, sizable, and reliable. Featuring 4760 cubic cm of working volume, The Sinter-1 effortlessly converts brown (washed) parts into their near fully dense final metallic form. Built on 30 years of Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology, it is ideal for sintering medium sized parts and small batch production.

Furnace Dimensions: 1067 mm x 483 mm x 406 mm
Furnace Volume: 4760 cubic cm
Peak Temperature: 1300° C

SINTER-2

With an expansive active hot zone of 19,644 cubic cm, the Sinter-2 is the perfect solution for mid-volume batch production and for larger parts. Create high-purity metal parts by using sintering technology built with a carbon-free retort. This workhorse furnace is enabled with rapid cooling technology and can process the full range of commercial-grade metals from their washed state into dense metal parts in as few as 30 hours.

External Dimensions: 1,200 x 700 x 1,500 mm
Weight: 350 kg (772 lbs)
Run Time: 17-31 hours
Sintering Volume: 18,356 cu cm
Peak Internal Temp: 1,300° C / 2,372° F

Affordable Metal 3D Printing

The Metal X is up to 10x less expensive than alternative metal additive manufacturing technologies — and up to a 100x less than traditional fabrication technologies like machining or casting.

Manufacturing Made Easy

Our cloud-based printer management software, built-in touchscreen interface and automatic material tracking make the Metal X system the simplest way to manufacture metal parts.

Watch Markforged Metal X 3D Printer In Action

The Metal X 3D printer is based on the Markforged’s renowned composite 3D printing technology, but instead of using composite material, the printer uses the metal powder that is bound in a plastic matrix. It reduces the safety risks associated with other forms of metal 3D printing. For 3D printing metal parts, Markforged Metal X uses groundbreaking Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) technology that allows the user to create cost-effective and high-quality metal parts. This process involves using a bound metal powder rod enclosed inside a plastic filament. Just like the other 3D printing technologies like FDM, the metal parts are built up layer by layer. This metal 3D printing process helps create light parts that don’t sacrifice on the part strength. Currently, the Metal X is able to print 17-4 Stainless Steel, Inconel 625, H13 Tool Steel, A2 Tool Steel, D2 Tool Steel and Copper. There are other materials such as 316 Stainless Steel and Titanium that is under testing and will be released in the near future.

Metal X: Metal 3D Printing in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia

Metal 3D printing holds a unique position in modern-day product development as it unlocks an entirely new world of manufacturing capabilities for both technology and business. Cutting-edge manufacturers in Singapore are already making use of this technology to rapidly prototype metal 3D printed parts or print replacement parts on-demand. The metal 3D printers combine the design flexibility of 3D printing with the mechanical properties of the metal. Additionally, metal 3D printers provide a cost-effective and safe method of metal additive manufacturing.

Markforged Metal X 3D printer brings several benefits for the manufacturer. One, which is shared by all forms of additive manufacturing, is that cost per part is the same for low-volume and high-volume production. Other benefits include easily 3D printing complex geometries, eliminating tooling spends, providing a safe and automated process, and more.

Thus, the Metal X, metal 3D printer is a much safer, reliable, and affordable option for you than that of traditional unsafe, complicated, and expensive metal 3D printers. At Chemtron, we aim at exceeding the expectation by providing quality additive manufacturing solutions.

Chemtron is the oldest and most experienced authorized reseller of Markforged’s Composite and Metal 3D printers in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Chemtron was the first company in South East Asia to have installed the full Metal X System with multiple customers installation as well. We provide the most comprehensive and technologically advanced 3D printers to customers in the South East Asia region with the best local sales and after sales technical support.
