Xact Metal is a young American startup that was created at the beginning of 2017 with the aim of making additive metal fabrication accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). To help reach this goal, Xact Metal has announced the launch of their first 3D printer, the XM200.<\/p>\n

\"XactIn less than a year, Xact Metal has managed to manufacture a relatively affordable 3D metal printer when comparing it to the rest of the 3D metal machine market. The XM200 will be available for $120,000, a price that is close to the Metal X, which was unveiled by MarkForged<\/a> a few months ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cPriced at $120,000, the XM200 is our first industrial 3D printer, offering outstanding performance and affordability,\u201d said Juan Mario Gomez, CEO of Xact Metal. \u201cWe believe it will make a big impact on customers\u2019 Additive Manufacturing needs.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The XM200 has a print volume of 127 x 127 x 125 mm and includes a 250-Watt fiber laser. Using a patent pending, high-speed scanner, the machine is able to melt metal at a speed of 1.5 m\/s. In addition, thanks to its laser beam being orthogonal across the entire powder bed surface, it is able to give “consistent fusing characteristics throughout the complete build area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Wood, CTO of Xact Metal, explained that \u201cThe XM200 is designed with the needs of customers in mind. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
