In the course of its almost 50 years of activity, Sodick has also developed 3D metal printers based on LPMS technologies. The company offers two different printer options: The OPM series and the LPM series. The OPM technology combines industry-leading laser sintering technology with high-speed milling – allowing a final product to be produced in a single automated operation. According to the manufacturer, switching between traditional manufacturing technology and 3D printing in just one machine improves the accuracy and finish of the end product.

The OPM250L and OPM350L are currently available from Sodick. The OPM250L is the smaller printer with dimensions of 260x260x260mm, while the OPM350L has larger dimensions (360x360x344mm) with the same high quality. Both offer impressive reliability and accuracy and feature a powerful 500W laser and a 45,000 rpm milling spindle. In the LPM series, Sodick currently only offers the LPM325S, which, in contrast to the OPM series, is particularly impressive with its speed and high-performance 500W laser.

Material Extrusion Printers

Desktop Metal

Desktop Metal is an American company that, since its founding in 2015, has focused on lowering the cost of 3D printing complex metal objects and accelerating the production of those metal parts. Desktop Metal’s big goal is to take additive manufacturing to the next level and permanently change mass production. The company defines this vision as “AM 2.0.” Although Desktop Metal focused more on extrusion with metal in its early days, the company is increasingly expanding into metal binder jetting. Desktop Metal currently carries four series of systems with printers in its range, which mainly work with binder jetting technology. However, one of the four printers, the Studio System 2, uses Bound Metal Deposition, a type of extrusion technology. The two-step system is comprised of a printer and furnace. With a fully re-engineered materials library, printed parts can be placed directly into the furnace, without the need for the typical solvent debinding phase. In 2024, the company was acquired by Nano Dimension.

Rapidia

Based in Vancouver, Canada, Rapidia has developed an innovative metal 3D printing technology. Called Metal Paste Deposition, this powder-free technique simplifies and streamlines the manufacture of complex metal parts. Its Conflux 1 printer makes it possible to produce components without the need for additional equipment for powder handling, stress relief or support removal. One of its outstanding innovations is the use of an evaporative support material, which disappears during final baking, enabling impossible geometries without mechanical post-treatment. This facilitates free design and accelerates the production of functional parts, from prototypes to short runs. Compatible with various metals, Rapidia offers a compact, efficient and scalable additive manufacturing solution, ideal for educational environments, laboratories and small industrial productions.

Binder Jetting Printers

Powder bonding is a process compatible with certain metals. As its name suggests, it is a technology based on powder and a binder. The particularity of powder bonding is that it requires a debinding and sintering step after printing, which lengthens the manufacturing process. You can find out more about metal 3D printers based on binder jetting in our dedicated article HERE.

Electron Beam Melting Printers

EBM (Electron Beam Melting) 3D metal printing technology is very similar to the laser bed fusion process. One of the main differences is the heat source used: here, an electron beam is used to melt the metal powder, layer by layer. This process is only compatible with conductive metals and will enable the rapid design of dense parts. We invite you to consult our dedicated article HERE to find out more about all the EBM 3D printers on the market.
