• New Company Makes Metal 3D Printing Affordable (May 01, 2017)

  Xact Metal supports the next generation of innovative manufacturing solutions powered

  by metal 3D printing

  STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (April 7, 2017) Metal additive manufacturing technology is

  evolving quickly from a niche tool used primarily in university research to an industry tool

  used to develop and manufacture products faster and at a lower cost. Xact Metal, a new

  company launched in early 2017, is making metal additive manufacturing systems

  affordable for small- to mid-sized companies to afford.

  “At Xact Metal, we’re taking the essential specs that direct metal additive manufacturing

  systems require and combining them with breakthrough technology to establish a new

  level of price and performance,” said Juan Mario Gomez, CEO of Xact Metal. “We’d like

  manufacturers to experience the benefits of high-quality 3D metal printing at the best

  price possible. Xact Metal aims to change the perception that additive manufacturing is

  only for capital-rich companies.”

  The company is on schedule to launch its first product this May, with shipments planned

  for the third quarter of this year.

  “We recognize the need for additive manufacturing to offer higher performance in a

  sustainable way,” said Matt Woods, CTO of Xact Metal. “More than just spotting a market

  gap, we are working on a new line of printers to allow more customers access to systems

  without sacrificing performance.”

  Xact Metal plans to unveil its first product at RAPID + TCT 2017 in Pittsburgh, Pa. May 8-

  10 (booth 737); and will attend the Additive Manufacturing conference in Knoxville, Tenn.

  Oct. 10-12; Formnext in Frankfurt, Germany Nov. 14-17; and the Defense Manufacturing

  Conference in Tampa, Fla. Dec. 4-7.

  Xact Metal has received funding from Ben Franklin Technology Partners, and is

  headquartered at Penn State’s Innovation Park, home to some of the leading tech

  companies in Pennsylvania. State College, Pennsylvania has been voted one of the top

  10 best small towns to live and one of the top 10 places for start-up businesses in the

  United States.

• Xact Metal Introduces XM200 Direct Metal Printer (May 05, 2017)

  STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (May 4, 2017) Xact Metal today announces the launch of the XM200, the first 3D printer offered by the company. Established as a metal additive manufacturing systems provider in early 2017, Xact Metal is making metal additive manufacturing systems affordable for small to midsized companies, research labs and universities.

  “Priced at $120,000, the XM200 is our first industrial 3D printer, offering outstanding performance and affordability,” said Juan Mario Gomez, CEO of Xact Metal. “We believe it will be make a big impact on customers’ Additive Manufacturing needs.”

  The XM200 printer features a large build volume of 125 in3 (5x5x5 in.) or 2049 cc3 (127x127x125 mm), a 250W fiber laser, and a patent-pending high-speed scanner which fuses at speeds up to 1.5 meter/sec. Its laser beam is constantly orthogonal across the entire powder bed surface, enabling it to produce consistent fusing characteristics throughout the complete build area.

  “The XM200 is designed with the needs of customers in mind,” said Matt Woods, CTO of Xact Metal. “The large build volume gives great flexibility to print a variety of parts. The system is highly accessible and easy to use and its modern software architecture is streamlined, intuitive and supportive of visual workflows. And with a compact footprint, the XM200 allows customers to put one or several systems in their work areas.”
