ExOne, the manufacturer of sand and metal binder jetting 3D printers, just announced it has launched a new metal 3D printer, the X1 160PRO. This new system is meant for high-volume production of quality parts, and is actually the tenth and largest metal 3D printer launched by the company. The machine is based on ExOne’s technology, Triple Advanced Compaction Technology (ACT) which enables 3D printing with 6 qualified materials, including popular stainless steels, as well as some ceramics.
It offers build dimensions of 800 x 500 x 400 mm, delivering 160 liters of total build volume. This build volume is large enough to produce investment cast parts used in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries. John Hartner, ExOne CEO explains: “The X1 160PRO was designed in response to growing demand from automotive, defense and aerospace customers. We’re incredibly proud of what this model means for the future of metal 3D printing and sustainable production of large metal parts without design limitations.”
