Xact Metal Introduces High-Performing Dental Solutions (Mar 01, 2022)

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – February 22, 2022—With an aim to bring affordable metal 3D printing to small-to-medium-sized companies and decentralize additive manufacturing, Xact Metal™ today announced the expansion of their solutions into the dental industry.

“At Xact Metal, we’re taking the essential specs of metal 3D printing and combining them with breakthrough technology to establish a new level of price and performance for the dental industry,” said Juan Mario Gomez, CEO of Xact Metal. “We have developed a high-performing and complete solution for dental labs using the newly introduced XM200G with specific parameters tailored to the dental industry, a full software workflow in partnership with Materialise Pre-Print Dental Module integrated with Materialise Magics Print for Xact Metal, and certified dental powder from BEGO Medical. The package will make it simple for dental labs to begin printing quickly and for a low cost.”

Utilizing single- or dual-laser options, the XM200G metal printer family is well-suited for metal dental applications, including crowns, bridges, and removable partial dentures. The printer includes a large 150 mm x 150 mm build area; 100, 200 or 400W fiber laser options; fast and precise galvanometer mirrors; high-quality F-Theta lens optics; and dental-specific parameters at 50 µm laser spot size and 20 µm build layers, or 100 µm laser spot size and 30 µm build layers.

The Materialise Pre-Print Dental Module provides a dental-specific workflow that allows for classification, error repair, print positioning, part labeling, optimized support structures, and part nesting to achieve top print speed and quality. Crowns, bridges, partial dentures, and other dental parts can be easily and quickly prepared for printing. Fully integrated into Materialise Magics Print for Xact Metal, the workflow provides an intuitive software that facilitates the 3D printing process. The integrated solution includes build preparation tools, the support generation module, and the build processor. Together, these components allow the customer to repair and edit files, prepare the build platform, and generate slices.

Xact Metal offers two certified dental powders from BEGO Medical: Mediloy^® S-Co, a type 5 cobalt-based dental alloy for printing dental restorations such as crowns and bridges (including metal ceramic), partial denture frameworks, implant prostheses and other orthodontic applications; and WIRONIUM® RP for removable partial dentures with the non-porous microstructure of the component that guarantees ideal fatigue strength of the clasps and above-average fit of the partial denture frameworks.

Xact Metal Introduces the XM200G Family of Affordable Metal 3D Printers (Mar 01, 2022)

STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania – November 12, 2021. Aiming to bring affordable metal 3D printing to small- to medium-sized companies and decentralize metal 3D printing, Xact Metal™ today announced the launch of the XM200G family of affordable high-performance metal 3D printers.

“With pricing beginning at a US MSRP of $90,000 dollars, the XM200G family is ideal for printing parts where high-performance applications and print speed are critical,” said Juan Mario Gomez, CEO of Xact Metal. “The introduction of the XM200G is another example of how Xact Metal continues to combine the requirements of metal powder-bed fusion and breakthrough technology to establish a new level of price and performance for additive manufacturing.”

The XM200G family is a highly configurable single- or dual-laser system that introduces industrial speed and performance at an affordable price, allowing customers to benefit from metal laser powder-bed fusion technology. The XM200G is based on the proven, easy-to-use and cost-effective design of the Xact Metal XM200C metal 3D printer, but instead uses a high-performance galvanometer system. This new architecture allows faster printing times and supports multiple lasers.

To increase print speeds, the XM200G provides the option of using two lasers at one time with either a 100% overlapping work area (100 𝜇m spot size) or a 66% overlapping work area (50 𝜇m spot size).

With a large 150x150x150 mm build volume, the XM200G is highly configurable to match different applications, including options for a 100, 200 or 400W fiber laser, a water-cooled galvanometer, and a glovebox to ease powder handling with an integrated powder-handling system.

“XM200G printers tailor to customers starting their entry into metal 3D printing in various applications, including product development, tooling manufacturing, metal powder-bed research and educational,” says Gomez. “Xact Metal aims to further expand the use of metal 3D printing in multiple industries including aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing.”

Leading Technology

Xact Core™

Making quality metal printing accessible requires innovation. Xact Metal’s printing technology is built on the patent-pending Xact Core, a high-speed gantry system platform that allows light, simple mirrors to move quickly and consistently above the powder bed on an X-Y axis.

Avoids the use of complex rotating galvanometer mirrors and F-theta lenses
Maintains a constant laser angle across the whole build plate
A simplified gas flow over the powder bed due to the smaller build chamber

Patent-Pending Recoater

Recoater performance can directly affect the quality of your build. Our patented recoater design offers a variety of benefits.

Unique “bulb” shape of the recoating element spreads powder like a blade, yet provides compaction similar to a rolling element
Compliant design allows the recoater to negotiate out-of-plane growth and continue printing
Mounting the recoater to the machine lid allows the entire recoating mechanism to be removed from the build chamber
Easy access to the build chamber allows for simple recoater replacement and adjustments

Intuitive Touchscreen
User Interface

The modern, interactive graphic user interface (GUI) for the Xact Metal printers makes loading files, setting up builds and monitoring the build process quick and easy.

Home screen displays real-time build monitoring with two cameras
Chamber setup screen allows customer to optimize print parameters
Build queue screen provides a description of all builds to be printed
Monitoring screen shows behavior of important parameters such as bed temperature, chamber temperature and pressure and oxygen percentage
