Industrial Additive Manufacturing Module — MetalFAB1

For users requiring specific post-processing functions, or looking to print large parts with one or more materials for small series or production, the modular and scalable MetalFAB1 architecture enables configurations from 2 to 11 modules and guarantees maximum flexibility.

When users’ capacity requirements increase, they can add additional modules in the future. They can also improve the MetalFAB1’s print parameter settings for certain part qualification.

The MetalFAB1 Prints with Lowest Cost per Part

The MetalFAB1 has automated the manual steps of traditional powder bed fusion (PBF) printers to guarantee maximum productivity, leading to the lowest cost for each printed part. The process is fully automated, reducing human errors and increasing reproducibility. For new customers, Additive Industries assesses a cost per part business case.

The MetalFAB1 Prints the Highest Quality Parts

For industrial-quality production, the MetalFAB1’s part reproducibility is ensured through robust machine design combined with sophisticated laser calibration technology. This can be programed in advance to automatically run at given intervals. Scripted process controls, part build simulation, and in-process quality monitoring are combined to achieve predictability.
